Greetings List,
I am getting the following error when trying to display an image on my web page using CGIDEV2:

URI in request GET /www/citcgidev/backg.gif HTTP/1.1 is not valid. I am guessing that the error means that the image can't be found.
However, when I run the command: wrklnk '/www/citcgidev/backg.gif' from the command line, I go right to the file on the IFS.

Here is the line from my HTML:

<body text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="maroon" background="/www/citcgidev/backg.gif">

According to the HTML book I have, this should work. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Do I need to add something to the config file that tells CGIDEV2 where images are stored?

Thanks,
