Python troubles

**radford.will70** · 06-19-2010 01:20 AM

I've set permissions in folders scgi-bin and cgi-bin.

I uploaded testing.py to both folders.

I've tried the htaccess handler in both folders with the internal error 500 message.

Code:

AddHandler cgi-script .py

I've used a very simple script, an example from these forums that was stated to work.

Code:

print("Content-type: text/html")
print("")

print("<html>")
print("<body>")

print( "Hi there")

print("</body>")
print("</html>")

I get the script outputting the whole script's code line by line but never the processed code.

Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? It's a "free" account at x10hosting, does that matter or do all accounts have access to python and cgi?

Thanks in advance.

You only need an AddHandler directive outside of cgi-bin (and scgi-bin, if it's already configured with a ScriptAlias directive). What you're missing is a shebang line. Add:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

to the start of the script. Also check that the script has execute permissions, that you upload it in ASCII mode, and that your editor doesn't insert a byte order mark. A bit of searching should have turned this up.
