RE: Simple question, but can't figure out answer
YES! It now works, and it was idiocy on my part. I had so many different images directories it was insane BUT NOT /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/images/. I thought it had to be under the WEB-INF directory. Ahhh, sigh of relief. Thanks so much. I am staying on this list because it is a great bunch of users. Besides I can contribute here and there. Great response and I really appreciate it.

Re: Simple question, but can't figure out answer
Hi. I've been lurking on this thread for a while this morning. Here's a few things you might want to consider 1. Your perl script to serve up images is pulling from /images according to what was posted. Given that perl probably isn't chrooted to the directory your webapp is in, the image you are trying to access needs to be at /images/icc-logo.gif relative to the unix filesystem root, not tomcat's webapps/ROOT or any other webapps folder. 2. If you drop the HTML page test and just attempt to access the image directly via http://localhost/path/to/image.gif, what error do you get? 3. I take it you have the perl script for serving up images mapped to icc-logo.gif somehow in your config? I'd be interested to see that part of your setup. --David Mead, Jennifer L - VSCM wrote: I already have that. I really don't understand but I bet it turns out to be something stupid (on my part).

Is tomcat actually configured to serve the image directory? Do you have your logging ramped up? Try enabling an AccessLogValve if you haven't already.

RE: Simple question, but can't figure out answer
Ok, it is something with my unix environment because I just pointed my
code to the same gif on my windows box and up it comes! All code is
fine, which I suspected because I have tried so many variations of it
something had to work. Not sure what it could be but maybe I actually
don't know where my image directory is. Even though I am giving it a
fully qualified path, there must be a default image directory somewhere?
Not sure.

Oh yes tomcat works for any language CGI, you need to go into the conf

it bypasses the security built into tomcat.
Here is a sample code with the img tag inserted:

#
# purpose: a cgi script that calls pages that insert, display and

Are you sure you are not using Apache with mod_jk, or mod_proxy?

why don't you just add

RE: Simple question, but can't figure out answer
I am using perl CGI because that is what the company wants. I haven't
used jsp ever, but I am researching it to teach myself. Then I could
introduce it and convince my boss to let me develop in it.
I have used the page over and over to no avail. That is why I was
concerned that it was a browser setting or tomcat specific. It should
work.
Yes we have tomcat installed. I should have realized that most folks on
this list are jsp programmers and NOT perl CGI. Oh bother.
Thanks for the reply,

Re: Simple question, but can't figure out answer
Jen,
Unless there is a particular reason (e.g. dynamically created images),
why are you reading image files directly in Perl, then dumping the
output? You should just use CGI to generate HTML that looks like this:
Even if you want to dynamically *choose* the image, you are better off
having CGI/JSP/etc. dynamically fill in the src or rather than
actually literally feeding the image.

Simple question, but can't figure out answer
Hello,
I am trying to create some cgi pages for my company. Or I should say I
have created some and now just want to add a header graphic in the main
page. Nothing fancy. However, I cannot get my image to display, no
matter how I embed the darned thing. I can't even get regular html to
display from our installation. Is it a configuration thing? Or am I so
green I just don't get it? (feel free to flame). Here is the only code
I can get running that displays the image:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
#
#
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
use constant BUFFER_SIZE => 4_096;
use constant IMAGE_DIRECTORY => "/images";
$|=1 ;
$q = new CGI;
print $q->header( -type => "image/gif" );
binmode STDOUT;
my $buff = "";
my $image = "icc-logo.gif";
local *IMAGE;
open IMAGE, IMAGE_DIRECTORY . "/$image" or die "cannot open file $image:
$!";
while ( read( IMAGE, $buff, BUFFER_SIZE ) ) {
print $buff;
} close IMAGE;
All good, it looks fine. However I cannot use this because then I
cannot display anything else, or at least I cannot figure out how to.
Any help is appreciated. I have been trying all kinds of things, so
many I cannot recall half of the things I have tried. Truly frustrated
from lack of knowledge.
Regards,
Jen
