Re: favicon not found Apache webserver cgi

That would be the directory pointed to by the DocumentRoot directive.  For example:

DocumentRoot /www/abc/htdocs

So you would make your image be /www/abc/htdocs/favicon.ico

It's whatever directory your DocumentRoot points to.

I want to add a favicon.ico to a cgi website.
Everything google says to put it in the "root" directory.
What is the root directory of a server instance?
If my instance is abc and Apache set up as /www/abc
and added /www/abc/favicon.ico
getting log errors ZSRV_MSG0016:

read that i can put header directive to my images directory
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon"
href="/abc/images/favicon.ico" />
still getting error
ZSRV_MSG0016: URI in request GET /abc/images/favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 is not
valid
Where can i put this file to work but not open up that directory to the web?
