hello.py returns 500

« on: August 25, 2007, 06:41:06 AM »

Hi

Excellent Tutorial - got it working on my XP/Apache2 PC using mod_python !

But I cant seem to get anything running on 2 of my shared hosts - one using CGI and the other as mod !

For the one using as CGI, uploaded hello.py and set its permission to 755.
Path /usr/bin/python is also correct.

Code:

#! /usr/bin/python
def index():
s = """
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
</body>
</html>
"""
return s

This is what I have in my .htaccess

Code:

Options -Indexes +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py

But http://domain.com/hello.py return 500 Internal Server Error

Any idea why ?

CGI seems to be allowed in non cg-bin directories because I did the same for perl and it worked.

Thanks

The program you posted is Ok for mod_python. When using CGI use this one:

Code

#!/usr/bin/env python
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print """\
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
</body>
</html>
"""

Change the path as necessary.

Actually path is fine - infact my host has made it such that most common paths would make it valid - guess he symlinked them.

But the problem I was having was because of \r\n after the shebang-line instead of just \n !

Now I got to figure out why its not working on my other host which provides mod_python. Since its a mod, shebang isnt required right ? But it prompts to download instead,
