I'm sorry. I really don't mean to waste your time. I'm just a bit confused here. You agreed that I do not need to use apache, but your advice was explained to me using apache configuration file format. I just figured that you were giving me examples/ideas. Tomcat does not have an httpd.conf file, it has server.xml and web.xml and the format of these files are completely different from apache. Hence my confusion. The idea made since since there were no instructions for Tomcat to know how to handle .cgi files. Again, I apologize if I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but I've been working on this for several days now and not getting anywhere. Thanks. --Alex

You don't need to specify a mime-type. (Neither do you need Apache.) You have a simple configuration error. See my previous post. Mark Brelsfoard, Alex wrote: > OK, now we're getting somewhere.
