Map image created but won't display

I've tried once before with this and had no response at all. I'm going
to try again because I have tried everything I can think of.

I have mapserv running from /cgi-bin/ within a virtual host on a Fedora
6 - based server managed via Plesk. Testing with a simple "Hello World"
application. Both map file (hello.map) and the initialisation/template
(hello.html) file are under /httpdocs/mapserver/ . Images to be written
to /httpdocs/mapserver/tmp/

Mapserv will write the images back to the /tmp/directory OK, and returns
the correct image_url to hello.html, so the html looks like this: <img
src="/tmp/Hello_World118193937715913.png" width=400 height=300 border
=0>

But the image does not display (a broken image icon appears).

If I paste the source into a new file and FTP it back up this will
display the image with no problem. I am completely baffled.
