[OpenLayers-Users] tomcat and proxy

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi,
does your cgi-bin directory work with other scripts? Is your python 
working (in that path) with other python scripts?
I don't know Vista but maybe there is a unix-like mode setting for 
files, that is, whether file can be read, wrote or/and executed. If it 
can't be executed, the proxy won't work.
