This is usually caused by your script having a different working directory
than where your images are.
i.e. if you do
<IMG SRC=pic.gif>
then the server looks for a file
http://localhost/cgi-bin/pic.gif
i.e.
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/pic.gif
Of course, you can't put pic.gif in the cgi-bin directory because the server
will probably try to execute it (which explains the "Internal Server
Error").
There are a couple of ways to fix this:
1) Use paths in your links/images:
<IMG SRC=/pic.gif>
<IMG SRC=../pic.gif>
2) Use the HTML tag BASE:
<HEAD>
<BASE HREF=http://your-server.domain/directory/>
</HEAD>
(2) is preferable over (1) if you plan to run your script on another server.
You may need to fiddle a little to get the directory right. Just look at
what URL your browser is trying to fetch, and modify your BASE / links
accordingly.
