Templatenot displaying image returned from Mapserver

I am just starting to get Mapserver set up on Fedora Core 6, on a 1and1
dedicate droot server, managed via Plesk 8. I am testing with simple
"Hello World" template, calling a simple image file with just the "hello
world" string. Within a virtual host (set up by Dynamic Virtual Hosting
by Plesk) I have the paths /httpdocs/mapserver/hello.html,
httpdocs/mapserver/hello.map, httpdocs/mapserver/tmp/ and
/cgi-bin/mapserv. (template and map file shown below).

Mapserv returns an image file to the /tmp/ directory and returns the
correct image url to the template - but the image does not display. If I
copy the source into a new html file, in the same directory, it works
fine. Here is the img tag : <img
src="/tmp/Hello_World11816653009157.png" width=400 height=300 border =0>

 I am baffled. Any help much appreciated.
