 Posted: Thu 23 Apr '15 5:08 Post subject: Help Getting Python to Work On Apache2 webserver |
 |
|
Hi,
I am try to get python to work on my web server(apache2). I have read a lot of things online and try them but could not get them to work. So any help on how to get python scripts to run on apache2(like my www directory. so if i put my test.py file in the www directory the test.py file will run as python. but not in other directory's) would be great. If you need more info on the problem please let me know.
Thanks Everyone! |

in your document root
| Code: |
<Directory "C:/Users/james/www">
<Files ~ "\.py$">
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py
</Files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
|
make sureyou have loaded
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
my test script
| Code: |
#!/Python27/python.exe
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
print "Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8\n"
print "Hello World!"

There's httpd -M to see what modules are configured to be loaded.
Do perl/cgi scripts work, good indication mod_cgi is loaded.
I'm wondering, did you chmod 755 the test python script? I know on unix/linux/etc. you have to do that to perl scripts, I'd imagine this is no different.
It werks for me on Windows. |

Thanks for all the help everyone!
Ya not sure if i changed a config file doing other stuff.
So i just delete the vm i had it on and started with a fresh go at this.
Do you know of any good step-by-step guides that can help me get python set up on my web server? or would some one be willing to show me step by step what to do That would be great.
Thanks! |
