Before I forget, what version of Tomcat?
I don't think you can use ${CATALINA_HOME} directly in server.xml (I might be wrong).
Can you post your server.xml? It looks like you have made some changes that might be complicating matters.
*If* you host still has auto deploy configured (it is unless you explicitly set it to false) and an appbase of "webapps", remove the <Context> element for myapp completely. Auto deploy will sort it out.

OK I changed it so that the path is "myapp" and the docBase is "${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/myapp". Restarted Tomcat Still nothing. --Alex

Ok. So I did everything you said. Still not working.
I get a 404 error.
So I took it step by step to see if I made typos or something. If I go to http://host:port I see the directory listing including "myapp"
This shouldn't happen. This means that myapp is a directory in the root context rather than a separate context.
Have you edited server.xml at all? It looks like you have a context element along the lines of <Context path="" docBase="${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps" debug="0"/> in your server.xml. This is bad. The default install uses <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> although it is commented out because tomcat does this automatically by default anyway.

I click on
myapp. There is nothing in the directory listing. I then add "/cgi-bin/script.cgi" to the end, to make http://host:port/myapp/cgi-bin/script.cgi. Same result: 404.
I then tried http://host:port/myapp/script.cgi. Same result.
I then tried http://host:port/myapp/WEB-INF/cgi/script.cgi. This time it asked me if I want to open or download this file.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
