I haven't tested any of this, I am working entirely from memory and the documentation.
I think you have a security problem. As your system is configured a request for http://foo.bar.com/3gflex/3gcgi/somedir/myscript.cgi will look for the script at /usr/prod/3gflex/somedir/myscript.cgi but a request for http://foo.bar.com/3gflex/somedir/myscript.cgi will return the content of your script. You have two options. 1. Move all your cgi scripts under the WEB-INF directory. 2. Use extension mapping (which is now supported) rather than path mapping. The easiest fix will depend on how your application is structured. Extension mapping will look something like: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.cgi</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Mark A Madhusudan-A5324C wrote:
Hi, I am facing some problems with enabling CGI in Tomcat 5.5.9. I followed the instructions given in the Manual, and renamed the servlets-cgi.renametojar under jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\server\lib\ to servlets-cgi.jar. Further I modified the web.xml files to uncomment the CGI enabling part. Here they are <servlet> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name><servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class><init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>6</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>executable</param-name> <param-value>/usr/local/bin/perl</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name> <param-value>/</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/3gcgi/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> My context.xml file points to a directory outside the tomcat dir structure. It is <Context path="/3gflex" docBase="/usr/prod/3gflex" allowLinking="true" debug="0"> <!-- Default set of monitored resources --> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts --> <!-- <Manager pathname="" /> --> <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true" /> </Context> The problem I am facing is that whatever perl scripts I have stored under /usr/prob/3gflex/, does not execute. But any perl script under any directory under /usr/prob/3gflex/ executes perfectly. The same if copied one level above fails. The error thrown is given below...... java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -2 java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1480) java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1447) org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet$CGIEnvironment.findCGI(CGIServlet.ja va:942) org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet$CGIEnvironment.setCGIEnvironment(CGI Servlet.java:1009) org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet$CGIEnvironment.<init>(CGIServlet.jav a:787) org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet.doGet(CGIServlet.java:591) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) Can anyone please hep me on this one..
