I put all the files into the "webServer/Documents/fileName" folder, the links I put src="/Documents/theFileName" meaning I added the "/" to the beginning of the file name and placed all files excluding the "cgi" file, into a file branching off the "Documents" of the webServer folder. I didn't succeed to make it work thru the cgi folder. Good luck using it, Hershel
