I did search and came up with nothing.
Please suggest how to reach one of those threads.

So much for the helpful members of this forum.
1. Make sure the script has permissions set to 0755
2. Script should have rough outline like:
Make sure you print out the HTTP Content header before any output. Follow it by a blank line. They are running Python 2.6 I think. Definitely not 3.Code:#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys print("Content-type: text/html") print("") print("<html>") print("<body>") print( "GET / POST Information") print("<pre>") print "Request method: " , os.environ[ 'REQUEST_METHOD' ] print "Query string: " , os.environ[ 'QUERY_STRING' ] count = 0 for line in sys.stdin: count = count + 1 print line if count > 100: break print "" print("</pre>") print("</body>") print("</html>")
3. If the script is in cgi-bin , you should be set to go
If it is anywhere else, make sure you have a line:
in your .htaccess fileCode:AddHandler cgi-script .py
4. If your script still flubs, post any error messages back here and I can try to help.

Thank you so much.
I was totally unaware of how to set permissions.
I just tried FileZilla and it worked.
Now, cgi works just fine.
Thank you.

The first link in my first post is to a search that lists those threads (hence the sig). The first result shows how to access input variables. The second (and other) results tell you about permissions. Both have sample scripts.Originally Posted by unobtainium
