Ok. So I did everything you said. Still not working. I get a 404 error. So I took it step by step to see if I made typos or something. If I go to http://host:port I see the directory listing including "myapp" I click on myapp. There is nothing in the directory listing. I then add "/cgi-bin/script.cgi" to the end, to make http://host:port/myapp/cgi-bin/script.cgi. Same result: 404. I then tried http://host:port/myapp/script.cgi. Same result. I then tried http://host:port/myapp/WEB-INF/cgi/script.cgi. This time it asked me if I want to open or download this file. <shrug> Any ideas? Thanks. --Alex

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. Mark Brelsfoard, Alex wrote: > This is one area I was not entirely sure about.
