We are going to install the WebFOCUS 7 server on 'Linux Kernel-2 4 21 and up x86 64 64bit' but there is no client. So I was wonder if you could run reports from the server's ibiweb.exe? Do I really need the client to run reports from a self-serve application?
I have changed the cgi-bin/ibi_cgi setting in Tomcat to point to /ibi/srv71/wfs/web/cgi instead of /ibi/WebFOCUS71/client71/wfc/web/cgi on my Windows environment but no luck. Are there other things I need to change?

You cannot run external requests from the servers cgi. The servers cgi is for the server console operator to execute request from the console and for the console. I would suggest that you use your tomcat servlet environment as the client for the server. This is called a split tier configuration, and the WebFOCUS install documentation will explain how to set this up properly.

For the Linux machine we are going to install on there is no client. On my local machine I have the client installed and I'm just testing on it before we install on the Linux machine.

On a number of platforms where both 32 and 64 bit versions exist there is only a 32 on 64 WebFocus server. For those environments where 32 on 64 WebFocus clients do not exist you should use the 32 bit version of the client.
This is quite normal as generally the client components do not interact at operating system level which is where the 32 on 64 is needed.
However you must make sure that you have the correct JAVA version for the operating system.
