Running Perl in Tomcat
Hi,
So I'm trying run a perl script within tomcat. Since I need to run
only one script, I figured itd be easier to just include it in tomcat
than install Apache HTTP server.
I'm currently using Tomcat 6.0.26 on CentOS 5. I'm using port 8100
(has worked before the cgi stuff), and my webapp is running from ROOT.
I followed the howto at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html and uncommented
the CGI servlet section and the servlet mapping.
Then I did made a new directory under
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/ called cgi-bin.
Placed my script.cgi file in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/cgi-bin
Then restarted tomcat. There are two problems:
1. http://localhost:8100/cgi-bin/script.cgi gives me a 404 saying
requested resource() is not available.
2. Another one of my html files does not load (it uses javascript) but
it has loaded before. My main html file still loads but that specific
one gives me a 404 as well.
I've been playing with different tutorials and things, but none seem
to be fixing this. Please help as quickly as you can.
Sincerely,
Sravan Suryadevara

Okay, after looking through the logs, I decided to check my web.xml
and context.xml files, so I realized that the servlet mapping included
for the CGI Servlet, maps to within the ROOT directory (where my
webapp is sitting). I also had to put the script in ROOT/WEB-INF/cgi.
So now it's working.
Thanks for the help,
Sravan

Have you tried setting it on the individual context?
Are there any log messages of note, complaining about an error?

I have, in conf/context.xml. Since I'm only running one app I figured
it wouldn't really be terrible if it was global.
Btw, the other html file is loading, I just named the link wrong on
one of the other pages.
Sorry, about the urgency, now I know better.
Thanks,

"Only Contexts which are marked as privileged may use the CGI servlet"
Did you mark the context as privileged?

That's unfortunate. It's probably unrelated, but as you didn't provide
any more information we can't help you with that.
