How to fix the relative paths in action attribute in form tag (html) – Apache

folder tree
This is work for me (from index.html, typed akaleaf.com in browser (apache2))

<form action="love512.png" method="GET">

But this is not (even if I have love512.png in every folder)

<form action="../cgi-bin/love512.png" method="GET">

<form action="cgi-bin/love512.png" method="GET">

<form action="/cgi-bin/love512.png" method="GET">

<form action="/var/www/akaleaf.com/cgi-bin/love512.png" method="GET">

After press the button of these 4 versions of index.html I have “Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server.” On first one correctly opens a love512.png image.

Every folder and file(starting with ‘www’ folder) have 777 access permission and chown to akaleaf(me) group

    Solution is: add 

    <IfModule alias_module> 
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/var/www/akaleaf.com/cgi-bin/" 
</IfModule>

    in /etc/apache2/apache.conf file in some place(whatever I think)(don't forget to replace /var/www/akaleaf.com to path of your site root folder). File akaleaf.com.conf contains: yadi.sk/i/vQdcAhtN3S4KGQ. Now love512.png doesn't work by cgi-bin/love512.png(but it work in from other folders, e.g. public_html), but script cgi-bin/story.pl work, which is more better.

    The web server configuration file causes the server to have access only to the /var/www/akaleaf.com/public_html folder, which is why you’re unable to access love512.png in other folders, even by providing relative paths.
