Thanks David. Question 1: Yes. I've made this mistake enogh times in the past that I'm pretty good about it now. Plus I have made other changes that required (and received) a Tomcat reboot after doing that name change. Question 2: That's a good thought... I've gone through the mappings and cannot find anything that would interfere with my cgi script.... Good thinking. Any other ideas? Thanks. --Alex Alex Brelsfoard Web Applications Developer Web Development Office Worcester Polytechnic Institute 508-831-6147 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was hoping Mark was going to nail this on the head for you -- especially since I don't actually use the cgi-servlets piece in my stuff. But I also hate to see a problem like this get stalled. Question 1: This is a basic one, but I've had my share of Homer Simpson moments. Did you restart the server after renaming $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/servlets-cgi.renametojar to $CATALINA/server/lib/servlets-cgi.jar and uncommenting the relevant parts of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml? Question 2: What do you have in your web.xml file for servlet mappings? It seems to me some kind of mapping is overriding the mappings in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml and simply offering the file from WEB-INF/cgi-bin/ rather than executing it. --David Brelsfoard, Alex wrote: >Thanks I really appreciate your help. >--Alex > > >Alex Brelsfoard >Web Applications Developer >Web Development Office >Worcester Polytechnic Institute >508-831-6147 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 4:42 PM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: Re: Trouble getting CGI script to execute > >Brelsfoard, Alex wrote: > > >>Luckily this server is dedicated to this one application.
