Unable to read shell environment variables
Hi,
I'm getting this error when trying to use CGI under tomcat on Windows
Server 2008":
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to read shell environment variables
This line also displays:
Cannot run program "env": CreateProcess error=2,
It looks like getShellEnvironment() is testing for specific versions
of Windows and 2008 is not one of them, then defaulting to the unix
call and throwing the "Cannot run program env" error.
I don't know enough about Windows 2008 to know if it's simply going to
be a matter of adding the new OS version to the if.
Tomcat version is 6.0.14
Does anyone know if this has been fixed in a newer 6 release or if
someone is already looking at it?
Thanks.

I have just fixed trunk and proposed this fix for 6.0.x.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=642391&view=rev
A fix has also been proposed for 5.5.x

As a workaround until this gets fixed, you can override the os.name
property on the command line (or in the Java tab of tomcat{5|6}w.exe if
running as a service). Just set:
-Dos.name="Windows 2008"
This should let you run CGI successfully.

1.6.0_03
In the code for CGIServelet.java there is no check for "windows vista"
I have passShellEnvironment set to true as it's required for the scripts to run.

When running a Java program under Win2008, what value does the system
property os.name have?
What JVM version are you running? (This has the potential of being a
JVM, not Tomcat, problem. The value of the aforementioned system
property should tell us which.)
