访问cgi-bin中的图像

Question

I have a quick question regarding my assignment for school. So essentially it is a webform and I upload a photo and some info, and the .cgi file populates the data into a profile. I got it working when I upload the image to "public_html/images" folder, however the assignment requires me to upload and retrieve the image from "public_html/cgi-bin/assn1/images". The image uploads to both the "public_html/images" and the "../cgi-bin/assn1/images". However, in the case of the latter, I can't retrieve it. Can someone please give me some information as to how I could go about doing this? Also this is the school server so I am limited to what I can do...

profile photo.... <img src="../assn1/images/$fileName">

Any help would be appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Cheers

What, exactly, do you mean by "I can't retrieve it"? Are you getting some kind of error message or a missing image icon? Is anything being written to the web server error log?

It's possible that the web server is configured so that everything under the /cgi-bin directory is interpreted as a CGI program. In which case, you shouldn't be storing static content there.
