I am running on Windows 2000. My script is installed into ..\Root\WEB-INF\cgi\cgi.exe
I am trying to run a binary C-Style CGI script. It appears that tomcat is treating my .exe file as a Perl script. The 500 Error Output reads...
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: perl "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\cgi\cgi.exe" error=2
I am not sure how to resolve this issue, it looks like from the error Tomcat thinks me exe is a perl script. I didn't know there was a specific configuration for how scripts are handled, it appears the MIME mappings are being ignored or are not used in script execution.
Any ideas, is there a way to unmap .exe to perl?
I know Tomcat is designed primarily for servlets, this is a special scenario where Tomcat cannot be substituted for Apache (and Apache runs the script A-OK).
---------- Below are specific details about the error msg and web.xml config settings -------------
