I am trying to execute a PHP file through a Python server. However, I get the following error:

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/CGIHTTPServer.py", line 255, in run_cgi os.execve(scriptfile, args, os.environ) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

The python server is running though.

What have I done so far?

Chmod'ed recursively all directories to (chmod -R a+x) (I know this is not secure but its just for testing purposes) for both Python installation directories and my scripts.
Tried to find out if python server is running as root through ps aux grep py

I am out of ideas. What could be going wrong else? Thanks for the feedback.

chmod -R 777 / on ubuntu - numerous problems

A client has accidentally given the entire filesystem full permissions on their ubuntu 10.04 box. chmod -R 777 httpdocs/cd / As you can see they attempted to cd to the root, and instead gave chmod a fun parameter to play with. First sign of the problem was inability to use 'su', giving an authentication… >>> More
