 Which version are you runnning? I think that Apache is only supported as a listener by versions 4.0 and (not sure about this) 3.0.

 You are trying to run the cartridge executable as a CGI, but I'm sure that's not the way. There must be a module, that, compiled with Apache, redirects TRANSPARENTLY all the URLS containing some path to another place (I suppose that the WRB).

 If you keep the original listener installed, you can use the redirect module of Apache this way:

Redirect /agentfoo/plsql http://rosalia.jarl.es:8080/agentfoo/plsql

 having Apache responding on, for example, port 8000

 The problem is that this needs the original listener to be working, and that the redirection isn't transparent for the browser. Two authentications, also :-((

 Sorry for not being a great help.
