I am a newbie in using apache and jmol. I am trying to run a jmol applet in python using apache server. Because of strict folder arrangement restrictions in jmol (html and model files should be present inside jmol folder), I had to move the default htdocs and cgi-bin folder inside jmol folder by editing the "httd.conf" file. Now the new location of htdocs folder is "Apache2.2/jmol/htdocs" and of cgi-bin folder is "Apache2.2/jmol/cgi-bin".

Now I've put my "start.html" file in the htdocs folder which has the jmol applet tag. It takes "CA150.XYZ" file which is also placed in the same folder. On running this "start.html" file through apache server, nothing happens. It even doesn't give any error, it just shows a blank page. But if I try to run "start.html" without apache server, jmol applet do get executed and runs successfully.

What am I doing wrong? Any idea?

Here is my "start.html" file

<head>
<title>Simple example</title>
<script src="../Jmol.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
</head>
<body>
  <form>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      jmolInitialize("../");
      jmolApplet(200,"load CA150.XYZ");  
    </script>
  </form>
</body>
