Servlets in the CGI-BIN

Can servlets go in the CGI-BIN???
my server has a CGI-BIN.... does it surport servlets??

Servlets were conceived to replace cgi-bin programming.
Servlets can be put anywhere, even in the cgi-bin folder, but servlets need a servlet engine to run, such as Tomcat(jakarta.apache.org/tomcat) or Jrun (from www.macromedia.com), among others.

With iPlanet6.0 how can I include servlets in the cgi directory?

I have created a cgi directory ex. http://hostname/cgi-bin to refer to the cgi.exe's. However.. I have developed a new servlet that replaces one of the cgi programs. The servlet context must fit in with our existing architecture so the servlets context must map to the cgi URL we have in place. This works fine with every web app server under the sun .. even Sun One7... but not on iPlanet 6.0. This is because it seems that every resource mapped by a CGI directory must be a CGI program - the web server doesn't have the intelligence to know that a servlet with the same context is available and so when the CGI directory is enabled... the servlet is not found, yet when it is removed the servlet is referenced just fine.
Has anyone any ideas? Unfortunately I can't change the context of the servlet as our existing systems depend on the original cgi structure.
Many thanks,
Mark

Right /cgi must reference a cgi and /servlet is for legacy servlets that arent deployed as applications.
I dont think you are going to make it work like that, maybe do a redirect from /cgi/cginame to /servlet/servletname . That's the only thing that may work.

Where is the cgi-bin "backwards" referred to in the tutorial gone?

Hello.
I am doing the tutorial for networks, and I am supposed to create a connection to http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/backwards to test communication. However, it does not exist. Does anyone know what the correct address is, or know of some equvalent site?
Also, is it not possible to save login information on this site. It is cumbersom to manually log in every time I visit these fora.
Regards
JT

Whats that supposed to mean? Please enlighten silly little me with your endless wisdom. I assume that since on other forums I visit I can save and use cookies with login information so I am automatically logged on, that this is possible here to. Pretty silly.
And for the record. If all you have to share is aimed at putting down people, you have a sad life indeed.

Forms in Dreamweaver - Where's the CGI?

I can build a form in Dreamweaver to collect information that
I want users to submit to a database or text file on the server.
In order for this form to work I must specify an ACTION which
is the CGI script on the server. The server (Linix) has some
scripts pre-installed in the CGI-BIN but it seems to me that I need
a script that will match my form.
Do I need to learn to write CGI scripts or is there an
automated process that builds the script based on the form?

> Do I need to learn to write CGI scripts or is there an

> builds the script based on the form?
A form sends data back to the server. Something on the server
has to process
this data and do something with it. It can be a CGI script or
other server
side code (ASP, PHP, CF, etc.)
If your web host already has a CGI script for you to use, you
should be able
to get instructions from them on how to use it with your form
that you
created.

Cgi-bin folder in 10.4.11

I'm running 10.4.11 (the regular edition, not server) and I'm running a small website through the personal web sharing feature. I want to integrate a perl script. Do I create a cgi-bin folder in the root folder of my website and put the script in there, or is the cgi-bin folder I'm looking for elsewhere? Thanks.

So where is the apache config file?
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Also, by main web content directory, do you mean the root folder of my website, the folder that you mentioned above, or some other folder?
I mean whatever folder you're using for your web content - by default that's either /Library/WebServer/Documents, or the 'Sites' directory in individual user's home directories.
My point is that any CGI scripts should be outside of the normal web content.

Formail and CGI-bin file

I installed a form mail product called Formail several months
ago. I am using Dreamweaver 8 at work. I am creating a new form and
cannot find my cgi-bin file to modify the program. Does anybody
have any experience with this program in Dreamweaver? I have
earched for hours. The old form I created still works great but I
cannot trace it back to the cgi-bin file. I think I have been
working to long!!!!!

look inside your cgi-bin for a file named formmail.pl

Executing cgi-bin from a java program

I am trying to develop a Java HTTP server that also includes support for CGI-BIN but the last weeks i am stack at the same point ! I am trying to execute the cgi and then give it an argument but i never have an output ! Please help cause the deadline is coming near !!!
//Set environment variables
String[] setVar = {"REQUEST_METHOD=POST","CONTENT_LENGTH="+extra.length};
String[] cgi = {"/bin/bash","./home/pap/jhttp"+Petition_Analysis.pt.uri.path,"/n"};
//Execute the cgi-bin with the appropriate input
Process cgiOut = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cgi,setVar);
// get its output (your input) stream
DataOutputStream put = new DataOutputStream(cgiOut.getOutputStream());
put.writeBytes(Petition_Analysis.pt.Pet_Body);
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(cgiOut.getInputStream());
// Read and print the output
String line;
StringBuffer page = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
page.append(line);
//Send page to client
out.print("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n");
out.print("Content-Length: " + page.toString().length() +"\r\n\r\n");
System.out.print(page);
Cgi call is like that:
./post_from.cgi
first_operand=342&second_operand=32&operation=-
Note that there is a blank line !

Well no, the script works perfectly, here is the output of the console in Linux system and this exactly what i want to do in the program:
[pap@laptop pap]$ export CONTENT_LENGTH=11
[pap@laptop pap]$ export REQUEST_METHOD=POST
[pap@laptop pap]$ /home/pap/jhttp/cgi-bin/post_form.cgi
op1=1&op2=2
Content-Type: text/html
<html><head><title>Script results</title></head>
<body>
Number of sent fields: 2

Field: op1 
Valor: 1


Field: op2 
Valor: 2

</body></html>
So the question is how to this inside a Java program and better forget my code which is erroneous
also forgive my english :)

Why is cgi-bin special?

I have a server side perl script running in the cgi-bin
directory that returns html to the client. It embeds a flash object
with the standard <object> and <embed>
tags. The HTML is received correctly by the client, but the flash
object does not display.
If you save the received page as static html, it displays
just fine, so the syntax is correct. Obviously saved someplace
other than the cgi-bin directory, as it is not readable, generally.
Once the html is returned to the client, how can the
rendering be different from a static html page? I'm saying that if
you do "view source", once from the returned html
and once from the static page, you see no differences, whatsover.
The only difference is the URL of the page. When
"cgi-bin" is in the URL, the object does not
display.

Thanks, Barbara! That did the trick. I was in expert mode but I clicked on 'guided' then clicked on 'expert' again and it showed up.

Java ITunesU within cgi-bin

I am unable to run the shell script that contains:
java ITunesU
within the cgi-bin directory. We are currently using SUSE Linux.
We are able to run this on the command line and can tell that it generates HTML.
When trying to run with the url: http://oes.tiu.edu/cgi-bin/itunesu
we get the following message:
Error 500
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: itunesu
Has anyone successfully implemented the java version of authentication?

First Time i'm getting this error before this (from last 7 months) i didn't get any error.....nothing is install new everything is same.....

Cgi-bin folder

Hi,
I've made up some forms for a website but when I link to the
perl script in
the cgi-bin folder it comes up with "You are not authorised
to view this
page".
Am I linking it wrong or doing something else wrong? I've
found this
problem on a few sites I've worked on and I've fixed it by
linking to a
script on our own site but I'd rather figure this out than
work around it.
Thanks

Ask your host to give you read permissions on that folder.

Changing cgi-bin script

Hello all you experts out there!
I inherited a Dreamweaver website which allows the public to
ask for information to be sent out to them. Whilst it is very easy
to edit the html file and add a couple of new options to it, I
cannot find out how to get these new options to impact on the
cgi-bin file and filter through to the email that is set up.
Can anyone offer me some simple - very simple - help?
Thanks

What script is being used? Is it custom or something like
formmail.pl?

Creating CGI bin

Hello everyone,
I need to create a CGI bin folder for my site and "change the
permission",
but I don't know how to do it. Could someone please help me
with this? I
can't seem to be able to figure it out :-(
Thank you very much for your time!

Hi Victoria,
As long as the cgi-bin folder doesn't have to be outside your
normal file
structure, you can just create the folder.
There is a Permissions extension you can use in Dreamweaver
to "change the
permission"; have a look at
http://www1.umn.edu/securclt/ftp/dreamweaver.html#permissions,
where they
show you how to download, install and use it.
HTH,
Pete.

lllaass,
Thank you for responding. I did not create a new ID. I went to Manage Your ID when changing my email. However, my problem is resolved. I called support and recieved help there.
Somehow my Ipod either wasn't registered to my Apple ID (even though I bought it from the Apple Store) or the registration didn't transfer with the email address change.
For some reason, though, I did lose all of my previous imessage conversations just because I switched my Apple ID email address. I also had to resync my Google accounts to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.
Strange, but everything seems to be relatively back to normal now.

What is the relationship between CGI-Executables and cgi-bin?

I am trying to get CGIs working locally on my Mac and am having difficulty understanding the relationship between CGI-Executables/ and cgi-bin/.
I have activated CGI in my httpd.conf file, and have the following perl test script: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/test.cgi file, and have the file permissions set appropriatly
If I call the script from the actual url: http://127.0.0.1/CGI-Executables/test.cgi, it doesn't work. If I use: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi, it works fine.
Why cgi-bin and not CGI-Executables? What is the relationship between /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ and cgi-bin?
And how do I get CGIs working in individual users' Sites/ file? Do all CGIs go in the /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ directory, or can each users' Site/ directory have it's own cgi-bin?
Ti Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Now I am having trouble getting CGI to work in the user directories. I have a perl script that works for 127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi, but not for 127.0.0.1/~joe/cgi-bin/test.cgi.
My apache error log says:
[Tue Feb 14 08:14:23 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /Users/joe/Sites/cgi-bin/first.cgi
Permissions for Library/WebServer/CGI-Exectuables/test.cgi and /Users/joe/Sites/cgi-bin/ are 777.
I think the problem is somewhere in my directory configs. Apache has so many, it's hard to know what's what.
Here's the first directory directives in httpd.conf:
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Options
</Directory>
Farther down, there's this, which I added ExecCGI and index.cgi:
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
<Directory /Users/*/Sites>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
Then down at the bottom of the file is something I suspect was added automatically when the user account was created:
Include /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
<Directory "/Users/joe/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
To further confuse things, there is another file /etc/httpd/user/joe.conf that has additional user-directory directives:
<Directory "/Users/joe/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Is there something in all these directory configurations that is preventing the user from accessing cgi-bin? Can I add directives to an .htaccess file in the user directory.

File not found: /cgi-bin

Starting on May 2007, unidentified errors started occurring
on our coldfusion MX7 servers (Window2003) at approximately the
same time each night but not every night (...maybe 4 to 5 time a
week). These errors does not effect the performance our
applications on these servers or at least I don't think it does. No
schedule jobs or programs have been created that reference the cfm
template that this process is trying to locate. FYI, no users are
in these servers at this time. I'm going to assume it's something
running in the background and I'm not smart enough to figure it
out. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on?

In any case, you shouldn't be doing any includes in Application.cfc(side note: capital A). The application file is not meant for presenting CFM pages. Translate all such includes into logic involving, for example, cflocation.
