Hi i got the solution, to connect ur cgi script from Apache to MySql db u hav to do the following things.
1.Open ur Tomcat home directory and go to conf and open web.xml. 2.uncomment the following things.. - <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>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup> </servlet> and change the <param-value>false</param-value> to true(<param-value>true</param-value> ) and change the <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>0</param-value> value to 6 Uncomment the following - <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern> if ur cgi bin name is cgi-bin dont change this otherwise give the exact name of ur cgi folder </servlet-mapping> Now go to server\lib there will be jar file named servlets-cgi.renametojarservlets-cgi.renametojar change the name to servlets-cgi.jar Now ur CGI script will work on .
