First of all thank you very much Cameron for your detailed help and effort to
write to me:
It seems another issue had happened without my knowledge, i was uploading stuff
at /root/public_html/cgi-bin instead of /home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin.
I realized that when i deliberately made error to metrites.py scropt and i got
still the same page.
Ookey after that is corrected, i then tried the plain solution and i got this
response back form the shell:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "metrites.py", line 213, in <module>
htmldata = f.read()
File "/root/.local/lib/python2.7/lib/python3.3/encodings/iso8859_7.py", line
23, in decode
return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 47:
character maps to <undefined>
then i switched to:
with open('/home/nikos/www/' + page, encoding='utf-8') as f:
htmldata = f.read()
and i got no error at all, just pure run *from the shell*!
But i get internal server error when i try to run the webpage from the
browser(Chrome).
So, can you tell me please where can i find the apache error log so to display
here please?
Apcher error_log is always better than running 'python3 metrites.py' because
even if the python script has no error apache will also display more web
related things?
Thank you Cameron.
