[OpenLayers-Users] Open layers proxy problem

[maw269]

Here are the instructions I use for Tomcat:

Creating a CGI proxy under Tomcat

1. Go to or create tomcat/webapps/your-application/WEB-INF/web.xml
2. Add the following to the above web.xml:
<web-app>
	<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>executable</param-name>
			<param-value>c:\python25\python.exe</param-value>  
		</init-param>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name>
			<param-value>true</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>
</web-app>
3. Download "proxy.cgi" from
http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi
4. Go to or create tomcat/webapps/your-application/WEB-INF/cgi
5. Move downloaded proxy.cgi to this directory
6. Add your domain to allowed hosts in proxy.cgi . This is the service you
are trying to allow access.
7. Include the following code in your OL map:
	OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/your-application/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";
	
8. Go to or create tomcat/webapps/your-application/META-INF
9. Create a context.xml in that directory
10. Add the following to that xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true"
antiJARLocking="false"/>
11. Restart Tomcat

Here are the instructions I use for Apache:
1.	Download proxy.cgi from
http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi
2.	Move proxy.cgi to Apache\cgi-bin folder
3.	Change the first line from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!C:/Python27/python
(assumed here that the Python is/will be installed in C:\Python27 folder)
4.	Modify the allowHosts array in the script as needed
5.	Restart Apache
6.	Add to openlayers map js
OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";

Note change any paths or versions to your paths and your versions i.e.
C:\Python27 or C:\python25\python.exe
