But he said his DocumentRoot is /var/www/cgi-bin, which is also
probably a *bad* idea.
And furthermore, I think that sym-links in the cgi-bin directory
should *not* work by default. 

Benedict: Why not go back to the standard Apache setup : 
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        put BackupPC images under /var/www/html/images
        then: $Conf{CgiImageDir} = '/var/www/html/images'
                $Conf{CgiImageDirURL} = '/images'
