I'm just starting out in
Python. The
Python interpreter works from the command line (I have 2.4.3), but I can't seem to get Apache to execute
Python scripts. All I end up with is a blank screen and nothing in the Apache error logs.
I enabled
Python via the Plesk control panel. Here's the snippet that was generated in the httpd.include:
<Files ~ (\.py$)>
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler mod_python.cgihandler
</Files>
My test script is one of the examples that comes with the
Python downloads at http://python.org/download/
#!/usr/local/bin/python
"""CGI test 1 - check server setup."""
# Until you get this to work, your web server isn't set up right or
# your
Python isn't set up right.
# If cgi0.sh works but cgi1.py doesn't, check the #! line and the file
# permissions. The docs for the cgi.py module have debugging tips.
print("Content-type: text/html")
print()
print("<h1>Hello world</h1>")
print("<p>This is cgi1.py")
That wasn't working, so I changed #!/usr/local/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python which is what which
python tells me but the results were the same.
Like I said, I'm ending up with a blank page. No errors that I know of, unless I'm checking the wrong error log (I'm checking the Apache error log). I'm on a MediaTemple (dv) running CentOS.
