Yep, you've found the correct option --- this is the relative path
that is put into the HTML.

Hehe, this does look strange... But there's a perfectly natural
explaination :-) I bet you're seeing a directory listing like this:
Index of /icons

...
This comes from the default Apache configuration which has this line:
Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache/icons/
It's these icons that are used when Apache makes directory listings. I
suggest that you put the icons for PhpWeather in another directory, or
that you don't move them at all.
