CGI execution problem on Unix

Preeti_t · #1 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009

Hello everyone,

I have developed a cgi application on windows. i have created a folder in webapps of tomcat, within that a WEB-INF folder and in that cgi folder.
This cgi folder contains one executable. The web.xml is as follows:

Code:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>debug</param-name>
          <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
          <param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
        </init-param>
         <init-param>
		   <param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name>
		   <param-value>true</param-value>
	    </init-param>
        <init-param>
		  <param-name>executable</param-name>
		  <param-value>cmd /c</param-value>
	    </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

now when i run this executable from the url it runs.
I want to do this same thing in unix but this is not working. for unix i have changed the above xml as follows:

Code:

           <init-param>
		  <param-name>executable</param-name>
		  <param-value>/bin/ksh -c</param-value>
	    </init-param>

the rest is same. Can someone plz help me wit dis????

Is there anything left in the Tomcat error log, and what exactly is not working? You saw code displayed or got some kind of internal server error page?
