Link the CSS file to the HTML one in CGI programm
Question
So, I recently started to code a web interface with CGI, after finding how to print hello world on my Apache web page with HTML, I wanted to add some CSS to it but apparently it doesn't work.
I'm on Linux, and I am working with Apache2.
So there is my source file hello.c (which is in /usr/lib/cgi-bin):
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf(
"Context-type:text/html\n\n"
"<html>\n"
"<head>\n"
"<title> Hi world </title>\n"
"<link type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"style/style.css\">\n"
"</head>\n"
"<body>\n"
"<h2>Hello world !</h2>\n"
"</body>\n"
"</html>\n"
);
return 0;
}
and there is my CSS file (which is in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/style/):
body {
background-color:rgb(255, 0, 170);
}
h2 {
font-family: Times;
font-size: 38pt;
}
I already tried to put my CSS file in my home directory but it doesn't work too.

If you check your.network panel of your browser's debugger , you're probably encountering a 500 status, as the server refuses to serve /cgi-bin/style/style.css .
Generally, style sheets do not belong in the CGI directory. You should move them to somewhere in your DocumentRoot path.
Assuming your configuration is something like:
DocumentRoot "/var/www"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"
Set your directory structure to:
/usr/lib/
└── cgi-bin
└── hello.cgi
/var/www
└── style
└── style.css
Then change the relative path
"<link type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"style/style.css\">\n"
to an absolute path (note the / prefix):
"<link type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"/style/style.css\">\n"
