404 returned trying to find Perl script
I have a form that sends its data to a Perl script under Tomcat 6.0.16. I get an error message The requested resource (/perlTest/WEB-INF/cgi-bin/form.pl) is not available. The form.pl file is, in fact, in that folder. I'm running Windows XP. Permissions have been set properly (using Cygwin chmod) to 0755. I just upgraded to Tomcat 6.0.16. I used to have my perl scripts in the cgi-bin folder under the root context. I see now the cgi-bin folder has been moved to 'WEB-INF'. This is reflected in %CATALINA_HOME%/conf/web.xml in an init-param element as follows: init-param param-namecgiPathPrefix/param-name param-valueWEB-INF/cgi/param-value /init-param in the cgi servlet definition. The servlet-mapping element appears as follows: servlet-mapping servlet-namecgi/servlet-name url-pattern/cgi-bin/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping I tried the old method of putting the script in cgi-bin under the root context, but that also failed. Any ideas? Doug - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
