I was hopping to sort this out today.

Where must i upload an image to display on my page?

I tried putting them in "/cgi-bin/img/".
They didnt display. So i moved them to "/public_http/img/" and changed all links. But now the http service is sown, so i cant test.

Should this work, am I doing something wrong or not doing something I should?

Wherever you put your images, you just have to change links to them, RELATIVE to public_http directory. EG: if your pics are in img subdirectory (like yours are), you would call them from HTML code like this:
HTML:
<img src="img/picture1.jpg" alt="description">
I hope this solves it a bit, and remember, it's not a laughing matter asking for help - Not asking for help it is :) - no one was born knowing HTML ;)

Thats, what i was doing, kind.

My script fetches content and then turns it to a formatted html doc.
So the links to the images where "/cgi-bin/img/" rather than "/img/"

Thanks for the help though...
really upset, spent the whole day yesterday working on the script to have 4 lvls of authority... admin, mod, usr, guest... It dont work when i upload it, but does locally? ? ?

If anyone could look at it and give me an idea as to why then just let me know so i can send the source code.

The error it spits out is
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@defectalisman.exofire.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
