Yes the image is this and is located at that folder.

/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/counter.py

that has embedded this line:

<a href="mailto:support at superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>

can open the file normally as seen if you visit http://superhost.gr

While

/home/nikos/public_html/cafebar-idea.gr/cgi-bin/counter.py

that has also embedded this line:

<a href="mailto:support at superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>

cannnot open the file normally.

And the questions iw WHY since python script can open ANY filesystempath
file the user has access too.
