CGI and Geronimo/Tomcat
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hey folks,
I've been doing web searches looking for the answer to this and I can't
find my Geronimo book wherever I put it last. I am trying enable the
processing of CGI scripts on Geronimo.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Yes this error means that the context-root "cgi" is already taken in
your server. You'll have to change to a different context-root in the
web.xml or undeploy the other app that uses this context-root.

Peter,
Which version of Geronimo are you using?
Are you deploying on a fresh install of Geronimo? If not, can you?
Just trying to pin down the source of your problem...
Is there any additional info in your log file?

Could you supply the war file that you are using to deploy and the

I think the server is complaining about the following configuration in

<host>www.bayshoredogclub.org</host>
If you look at the http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-1.1

OK.. gave it a whirl.
I made a couple of changes to the geronimo-web.xml file that (I thought)
whouldn't affect much, but here is what I got:
First the changes:

Tomcat 5 required you to rename servlets-cgi.renametojar to servlets-
cgi.jar. It's not necessary in Tomcat 6 (Geronimo 2.0/2.1). The
comments in Tomcat's web.xml configuration file are not correct.
I've created a Jira to make it simpler to enable cgi support in
Geronimo. Would be nice if this were a plugin and that the servlet
would permit absolute file addressing (rather than relative addressing).
In the jira I posted a war and some instructions on enabling cgi-bin
support on Tomcat. I've included instructions (a bit of a hack) to
allow scripts to be placed in a <geronimo-home>/cgi-bin directory.
I've tested with a simple HelloWorld perl script and it worked for me...

Read this two or three times (as well as the comments in the web.xml

Did that after trying to be "stubborn" and leave them in "cgi-bin" where
they were located while the website was hosted at the previous
provider's server. Now I am running in a VPS and have to re-invent things.

Snip. The CGI script in question (written in Perl) doesn't seem to be
getting executed still. In fact the purpose of the script is to generate
"on the fly" javascript and what is coming back instead is the Perl code
itself instead of the javascript the Perl script should be generating.
I tried setting the value for "executable" first to /usr/bin/perl and
then to just perl and this resulted in tomcat generating an exception
and not being able to start and complaints from my club members that
they couldn't get to the site while all that was going on. (Figures..
when I'm working on the site, they try to access it just then.)
What disturbs me slightly is I did a search for the
servlets-ssi.rename-to-jar or even servlets-ssi.jar file from the top
level in Geronimo and did not find it. Should I be worried about that
or is that deprecated?

Should be doable. I don't recall hearing about anyone who's set this
up on Geronimo, however. If you're willing to run some experiments, I
expect that we can help get it running...
Are you using Tomcat or Jetty as your web container?
Here's general info for Tomcat -- http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
Here's general info for Jetty -- http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty5/faq/faq_s_900-Content_t_CGI.html
Now a matter of getting this running in Geronimo. Assuming you're
using Tomcat as a web container, I'd deploy this as a web-app:
Place your scripts in WEB-INF/cgi/
Borrowing from the tomcat instructions use this as your WEB-INF/web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
