Hello everyone, sorry to bug you guys again!
Just to follow up on my last problem. I have re-formatted my whole hard drive and reinstalled ubuntu from scratch now the tomcat apache runs perfectly and i can access http://localhost:8080/mms_test/index.html with no problem. However the same problem still remains one of my html file located in /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mms_test must access a cgi file calld test.cgi( located in /usr/local/tomcat/bin). however when I click on the button in the hesearch.html file using <form name="mainform" method="get" action="../../bin/test.cgi"> It gives me this error: HTTP Status 404 - /bin/test.cgi ------------------------------ *type* Status report *message* */bin/test.cgi* *description* *The requested resource (/bin/test.cgi) is not available.* ------------------------------ Apache Tomcat/6.0.18 I don't undrestand what the problem is????? 1) I have gave all the permissions to test.cgi file 2) this is the address i use ../../bin/test.cgi and it seems to me the right addres. please let me know what I am doing wrong. Do i need to put test.cgi in a different directory?? I don't have a cgi-bin directory only "bin" directory, is that my problem??? your help is really appreciate , since my master project is based on this! :( thank u kindly for your help zia On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 6:14 PM, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > you'll need to create a startup index page called index.jsp which will be > located in webapps/YourWebAppName > > then configure ./WEB-INF/web.xml to load initial display > <welcome-file-listing> > <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> > </welcome-file-listing> > > HTH > Martin > ______________________________________________ > Disclaimer and confidentiality note > Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official > business of Sender.
