I see you're using an older version of GS3, since some source code
updates in the last months meant that gliserver4gs3.pl is no longer used
by the current GS3 code.

If you are indeed using Greenstone 3.03, instead of updating all of your
GS3 code:

1) There may be a problem with the way JAVA\_HOME is set on the server
machine. If you have access to the server machine, do you see that
JAVA\_HOME is set correctly when doing
echo $JAVA\_HOME
on Linux, or
echo %JAVA\_HOME%
on Windows? You need to do this in an entirely fresh x-term, without
running any extra scripts that set special environment variables for you.

Could this have something to do with JAVA\_HOME being set by a start-up
script (like bash.rc or a bat script) that's run on opening an
x-terminal/dos-prompt? That could explain how JAVA\_HOME is then
undefined when running GLI.

2) You may want to try the following that worked for someone else
previously:

Finally, if it still gives you trouble about JAVA\_HOME not being set,
you can also try the following.
5. Additionally, make a backup copy of the file
<your GS3 installation folder>/web/WEB-INF/cgi/gsdl3site.cfg
6. Download the updated file
http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/greenstone3/trunk/web/WEB-INF/cgi/gsdl3site.cfg
and put this file into your GS3 installation folder's web/WEB-INF/cgi
folder.
7. In a text editor, open up the just downloaded gsdl3site.cfg file and
uncomment the following line by removing the hash in front of it:
javahome /full/path/to/j2sdk1.4/or/higher
Then edit the above line to set the path to your JAVA\_HOME.
8. In a text editor, open up the updated gsdlCGI4gs3.pm you downloaded
in step 3 above.
9. Look for the following lines (line 287 and 292) and uncomment them by
removing the # sign in front of them:
my $javahome = $self->get\_java\_home();
$ENV{'JAVA\_HOME'} = $javahome;
10. Now try pointing your browser to
http://yourhost:yourport/greenstone3/cgi-bin/gliserver4gs3.pl?cmd=check-installation
Does this help fix the missing JAVA\_HOME problem?
