Instead of:
/myserver/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images
try putting it in the directory:
/myserver/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wsgi-practice-scripts/images
Because you have:
'<div style="background-image: url(images/myimage.jpg)">'
it will resolve as a relative path to the page that is used in, thus:
/wsgi-practice-scripts/images/myimage.jpg
This is actually bad because if you do the same thing in a different script,
you will need to create a separate copy for it.
You would be better off using a something that generates an absolute path of:
/images/myimage.jpg
which means it should then be found at:
/myserver/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images
