Problems with CGi

[Troy Bull <tr...@gmail.com>]

Greetings

I followed the instructions to setup cgi support in Tomcat 6.  I think
i have it configured as per the instructions.  I uncommented 2
sections in my web.xml.

When I restart tomcat "nothing" works.  No matter what I try to go to
(static html, web apps), tomcat just returns a blank page,  When I
view source on this page there is nothing there.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I have a exact unzip of tomcat java 1.6,
the only change I made was to uncomment these two sections in web.xml.

thanks
troy

Interesting; I suppose that's a side effect of including it in
catalina.jar now.

You can set privileged="true" in the global <Context> element in the
conf/context.xml file.  If you're running with -security, you may need
to fiddle around in conf/catalina.policy.

In the logs I get the following:

CGIServlet is privileged and cannot be loaded by this web application

(along with some other stuff).  How can I tell Tomcat to allow CGI
globally (in each webapp)?

Thanks

1) Are you running Tomcat from the scripts or as a service?  If the
latter, run it from the startup script to get more diagnostic
information.

2) Regardless of the answer to #1, what's in the logs?
