Thanks Pludi for your reply

I did try changing the path but it didn't have the desired affect. I first had issues with enabling cgi, but i think i've solved that now, i've done the following in order to get the images appearing...

DirectoryIndex includes the index.cgi extension
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi is uncommented

httpd.conf is as follows
Code:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/html" 
<Directory "/var/www/html/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

DocumentRoot
<Directory "/var/www/html">

I changed the directory as you suggested

Code:
print "<img src=rrdtool/$image><p>\n";

Source code from the site
Code:
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body><center>
<img src=rrdtool/><p>
</center></body></html>

isn't their any easier way to include each image in the directory than using a bunch of print commands, would it be easier to use some kind of for each loop in a perl script??

thanks for your help

OK now im completely confused,

i just tried looking in the directory where all my images are stored and i get an error saying Forbidden, i changed the following and it worked again, could it be that i have the cgi config setting all screwed up ??

was
Code:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/html" 
<Directory "/var/www/html/">

now
Code:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin" 
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/">

now that ive changed it i get the forbidden error when trying to access the url
http://mywebserver/pass.cgi

when i used to get the following from the apache log file

[Fri Jun 04 23:03:01 2010] [error] [client 10.20.20.20] Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /var/www/html/pass.cgi line 9.
[Fri Jun 04 23:03:01 2010] [error] [client 10.20.20.20] Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /var/www/html/pass.cgi line 11.
[Fri Jun 04 23:03:01 2010] [error] [client 10.20.20.20] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/rrdtool/, referer: http://mywebserver/pass.cgi

I guess the last line is stopping the cgi script from working, i dont understand this.
