[OpenLayers-Users] CGI and Tomcat

[Juan Arévalo]

Hi list,

I am still having some difficulties to set up the proxy host in Tomcat. Here
are the steps I followed:

1.- I modified the file: "web.xml" C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\web.xml. I uncomented the following lines of
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>
        <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

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

2.- I renamed the file servlets-cgi.renametojar to servlets-cgi.jar under
the folder: C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\server\lib

3.- I downloaded the "proxy.cgi" file from Openlayers:
http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi and
copy the file in a folder called "cgi-bin" that I created under my
directory: "Tomcat 5.5\webapps\MapFish-1.1\client\cgi-bin\proxy.cgi"

4.- In the proxy.cgi file I included my machine in the allowed hosts:

allowedHosts = ['demo.mapfish.org', 'localhost:5000', 'localhost',
'127.0.0.1'] and I also added this line:

#!c:/python25/python.exe -u (I already had installed python in my PC)

5.- I included this piece of code in my map: 

OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";


6.- I restarted my Tomcat.

I do not see the openlayers.org website when I typed:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/MapFish-1.1/client/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi, I got the 404
error.

Does anyone knows what I missing?


Thanks again Eric and Michogar!
