OK. Making progress.
Can you try the following? (all steps included - even the ones you have already done) Once it works we can tweak it to give the configuration you want. These steps assume a default install.
Create a directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/ Create a directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF Create a directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/cgi
Place your script called (script.cgi) in: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/cgi
Uncomment the cgi stuff in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml
Rename $CATALINA_HOME/server/servlets-cgi.renametojar to $CATALINA_HOME/server/servlets-cgi.jar
Restart tomcat.
Browse to http://host:port/myapp/cgi-bin/script.cgi
Let me know what happens.

This is one area I was not entirely sure about. I did uncomment everything and did NOT change anything. I do not really have a ROOT url. I setup a "/cgi-bin" directory in server.xml. I then created a WEB-INF and cgi folders and placed my script in there. So the path to the file is /path/cgi-bin/WEB-INF/cgi/script.cgi And the URL: domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi Did I miss something here? Thanks. --Alex

Subject: Re: Trouble getting CGI script to execute
Exactly where did you put your script? If you follow http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/cgi-howto.html and use the defaults it is impossible to see the text of your script.
Assuming you only uncommented the global web.xml and did not edit any of the settings, your script should be in: /WEB-INF/cgi/
and it is accessed through /yourcontext/cgi-bin/yourscript.cgi

I have been reading all the online documentation I can dig up and cannot find the solution to my problem.
Quite simply, all I want to do is be able to run perl cgi script through my Tomcat server. I uncommented everything having to do with CGI in the Tomcat web.xml conf file, restarted the server and placed my scriptmin the right place. All that happens now is the script is printed up to the screenjust like a txt file. It is executable. I checked the logs and the log says that a 304 code is sent to the browser.
ANY help would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much.
