Problems changing location of cgi-bin/files to WWW/files:

I correctly changed the path in the Administrative site configuration to ../WWW/files

and made sure that the cgi-bin had permissions to access there

and an uploaded photo does, in fact, appear there, BUT

The URL for this photo will be be linked incorrectly as:

http://www.example.com/WWW/photo.jpg (instead of
http://www.example.com/photo.jpg)

On the wikis I am accustomed to there are two fields where you say what the URL will be for this new files folder, and also the afs address, which I am assuming prevents this ambiguity. I KNOW I must simply be missing something basic, but I am stuck at this earliest problem in the install. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
