Re: Perl Permissions on Tomcat
Yes, I have added debug code to the Perl program, and where it stalls seems to be the following line: $myDatabase = new Win32::ODBC($data_source); It just keeps hanging at that line. If I go to Windows Task Manager, I see perl.exe running, but at a fixed memory space (no changes). Also, forcing perl.exe off the Task Manager unstalls the CGI program and it just prints all the debug comments up to the code I wrote above. Someone suggested that I switch to another JDK but our workplace uses only Sun JDK for production servers...any insights to resolving this other than writing a whole new module in Java? -Original Message- Date: Sun Oct 14 18:29:57 EDT 2007 From: Mark Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl Permissions on Tomcat To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Li Ye Chen wrote: Script A (the problem script) continues to run after 2 minutes (with partial output some of the time).

Re: Perl Permissions on Tomcat
I assume it's a permission problem since: 1) I'm trying to run script A (the script with the problem), and 2) script B ran with no problems at all, but 3) script A also ran with no problems if executed from the command line directly instead of in the browser via Tomcat server... both scripts A and B are in the WEB-INF/cgi folder of a webapp in the Tomcat server. There are no error messages. Apparently, it may also be a speed issue, since there was once when I ran script A and after a while, I stopped the transmission -- there was actually a partial output from the script. -Original Message- Date: Tue Oct 09 16:54:50 EDT 2007 From: Christopher Schultz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl Permissions on Tomcat To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Li, Li Ye Chen wrote: Hi, I'm trying to run a Perl script on Tomcat 5.5.8 -- I've managed to successfully run read-only Perl script, but the script I'm trying to run connects to the database and needs to write to the local hard drive.

I'm running Tomcat on Windows XP, and in my Configuration - Startup menu, the
entry for the Arguments text box is start, with no other string (nothing that
says -security). Does that mean I'm currently running without SecurityManager?

Are you running with a security manger? If so, try running without and
get things working that way first. Then we can focus on the permissions.

Perl Permissions on Tomcat
Hi,
I'm trying to run a Perl script on Tomcat 5.5.8 -- I've managed to
successfully run read-only Perl script, but the script I'm trying to run
connects to the database and needs to write to the local hard drive. Whenever I
try to execute the script, it creates a Perl.exe thread on my Windows server
and just never return the HTML code (so the browser keeps loading) -- it seems
there is a permission problem. I've tried executing the script on plain old DOS
and it works just fine (returns the right HTML code with database information).
I've also searched the mailing archives, and tried changing the catalina.policy
file by adding the following line:
// Give all permission to servlets-cgi.jar
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/server/lib/servlets-cgi.jar {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
but it doesn't work. Any idea how I can give Perl.exe read/write permission as
executed through Tomcat 5.5.8? Thanks in advance!
