The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, root@192.168.101.19 and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at 192.168.101.19 Port 80
Seems you have to embed your image in a cgi script to let it show from there. CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. The cgi-bin is rather a location for scripts...
Maybe you can configure the directory to serve images as well but I don't know.
But you can easily write a perl or python script that embeds the image in html
