This is one area I was not entirely sure about. I did uncomment everything and did NOT change anything. I do not really have a ROOT url. I setup a "/cgi-bin" directory in server.xml. I then created a WEB-INF and cgi folders and placed my script in there. So the path to the file is /path/cgi-bin/WEB-INF/cgi/script.cgi And the URL: domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi Did I miss something here? Thanks. --Alex

If you follow http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/cgi-howto.html and use the defaults it is impossible to see the text of your script. Assuming you only uncommented the global web.xml and did not edit any of the settings, your script should be in: /WEB-INF/cgi/ and it is accessed through /yourcontext/cgi-bin/yourscript.cgi Mark Brelsfoard, Alex wrote: > I have been reading all the online documentation I can dig up and > cannot find the solution to my problem. > Quite simply, all I want to do is be able to run perl cgi script > through my Tomcat server.
