Instead of using your own handler, i think you should use mod_python.publisher as your handler. In addition, whatever you want to print, you should return it from your method and the publisher handler would do the rest to display in the browser. I've not used publisher class, but I think it works this way. If you rewrite your http configuration snippet and code as follows, you should be able to access get_time() function using http://localhost/first.py/get_time url: HTTP CONFIGURATION SNIPPET <Directory "/var/www/python/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler mod_python.publisher PythonDebug on </Directory> REWRITTEN first.py SCRIPT import time def get_time(): html = """ <html><head> <title>get_time function</title> </head> <body> <h1>get_time function</h1> <hr> The local time of this server is: %s <br> The timezone of this server is : %s <br> </body> </html>""" % (time.ctime(time.time()), time.timezone/3600) return html TIP: It is always a good practice to use a separate directory instead of the apache root directory to execute server side script. In your case, you can create an alias as follows and access the method using http://localhost/python/first.py/get_time url: Alias /python/ "/var/www/python/" -- Regards, Bhuvaneswaran A www.livecipher.com GPG: 0x7A13E5B0 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
