I've run into this a few times when I've spent far too much time in my 
chair and need a break. Move the directory with the images in it Up one 
directory and see if that works.  It appears that you've got the 
interchange-5 directory buried a few dir's too deep.

the best way to install any interchange installation is to put the share 
directory on the web server's root. i.e. /var/www/html/interchange-5. 
According your URL it appears as though the interchange-5 directory is 
actually inside your cgi-bin. this shouldn't be. even "if" this is not 
the case according to the URL you've posted thats where its looking.
