Thanks, to all.
Here is what I did after playing around quite a bit, somebody might make use
of it.
I put all the files into the "webServer/Documents/fileName" folder, the
links I put src="/Documents/theFileName" meaning I added the "/" to the
beginning of the file name and placed all files excluding the "cgi" file,
into a file branching off the "Documents" of the webServer folder.
I didn't succeed to make it work thru the cgi folder.
Good luck using it, Hershel
