RE: Can Tomcat really run cgi scripts?
Well my head is really a bloody mess now but after seeing that other IOException: CreateProcess errors for other applications often referred to both path and pathext environmental variables I decided to add .pl and .cgi to pathext. Path was already corrected and I tinkered with it endlessly. That still didn't work. Until I rebooted system. I assume that once I did so Tomcat figured out the .pl/.cgi extensions and processed the cgi file properly. Sending this just in case anyone else runs into the problem. I've found a number of references to the problem on google but no answers. -Original Message- From: Januski, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 3:21 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Can Tomcat really run cgi scripts?

Can Tomcat really run cgi scripts?
I've been trying for last day to get Tomcat 4.1.12 to run a perl cgi script. I've done most of it based on this article: http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/default_p f.aspx. But now I'm stuck with this error: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: perl C:\Tomcat4112\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\cgi\exp.cgi In researching this on google I've found that a number of people have run into siimilar problems. Some of them solved it by adding Apache to the mix. I don't want to add Apache if I don't have to. So what I'm wondering is if anyone has had much success running perl scripts from cgi directory without using Apache? And also does anyone know how to get around the above error? Thanks, Ken P.S. The only reason I'm having to run perl is that I need to add iptc info to jpeg files and I've only found perl methods for doing so. If anyone can point me to a Java method of doing so I could avoid this problem for the time being.
Re: Can Tomcat really run cgi scripts?
Ken, But now I'm stuck with this error: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: perl C:\Tomcat4112\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\cgi\exp.cgi This is likely to be due to the lack of PATH information available to the script itself. Try using #!/usr/bin/perl in your script instead of #!perl I've heard some complains about sub-process permissions, but my initial reaction is that they are errant complaints. -chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
