When trying to add a image to your CGI script you recieve the following error and the image isnt displayed.
[root@localhost cgi-bin]# cat /var/log/httpd/error_log

Solution
Add to your httpd.conf or apache.conf file an alias such as,
Alias /images/legacy/ /usr/share/images/legacy/
Once added restart you httpd/apache daemon. And add your images to the directory.
#!/bin/sh
unset PATH
echo “Content-type: text/html”
echo “”
echo “<html>”
echo “<body>”
echo “<img src=”/images/legacy/picture.jpg”>”
echo “</body>”
echo “</html>”
Your page should now display the picture.
