I was trying to get mod_python to provide PSP on Python. It took a while for me to figure out that although apt-get nicely installed mod_python, it installed an older version (2.7), that doesn't have PSP support.
I don't know Debian, and specifically I don't know how to get the mod_python 3.1 package (in unstable) installed.
there's multiple ways for everything, and I haven't found that many people agree on the best way to go about doing stuff like this :-D. So add salt.
A few questions:
1) If I add the 'unstable' distributions to the list of sources, and attempt to upgrade from there, am I doing a risky thing?
yeah, just a little. Unstable breaks every so often. Testing less often, but I try to keep boxes managed remotely on stable, just because hitting the big red switch is such a pain.
2) It seems apache is 1.3.31, but PSP requires Apache 2. Could such an upgrade be done without risking a lot? Would we need to reconfigure everything?
apache+php+stuff on debian has been painful for a /long/ time now. If you want apache2 its probably best to just compile from source (ie grab the asf tarballs, not debian packages) to /usr/local, and link statically.
3) Is 'unstable' before 'testing'? I assume so. Would we be risking too much to allow it? We don't push the envelope too far w/ what we do on Brutus, would it be an acceptable risk?
as long as it doesn't break, its fine. When it falls over, it falls over *hard*.
BTW: I want PSP so we can query the RDBMS from it and remove a bunch of static pages and make them dynamic. Ought speed Gump up, and simplify it, and we'll get better reports.
have you investigated using CGI?
cheers,
