Well, if Python's not installed, the next step is _getting_ it installed --
whether having your admin install it globally (I mean, who *doesn't* install
python?! ;-) or you install it locally in your home directory as detailed
at [1] where you download the source and compile from scratch
Hi all,
I'm trying to get python to work with cgi for a small intranet site,
however even a simply hello world test isn't working. Here is the
test file:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# enable debugging
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
print Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
print
I've placed this file in both public_html and as a test in public_html/
cgi-bin directories in my local user account (I dont have root access
- its a corparate network). The file definitely has read and execute
permission (744) as have the assoicated directories.
My guess would be the
Thanks for replying Tim,
Here is the permissions, which I think are definitely right now:
drwxrwxrwx 8 4.0K Nov 6 13:34 public_html/
drwxrwxrwx 2 4.0K Nov 6 13:35 cgi-bin/ [inside public_html]
-rw-r-xr-x 1 117 Nov 6 11:39 test_pl.cgi* [inside cgi-bin]

With regard to phpinfo(), its shows the mod_cgi is loaded, but neither
mod_perl or mod_python is loaded (I read on the python.org site that
mod_python can interfere with running python through mod_python).
As for writing some perl, not too sure how to do that, but from the
information in phpinfo
As for writing some perl, not too sure how to do that, but from the
information in phpinfo I logged onto the webserver machine and did a
whereis python - it came back blank! Of course doing a whereis perl
gave a non-blank answer. So this seems to be the route cause of my
trouble.
Indeed! I
Alas that cgi script confirmed python is not installed on the server
machine (which I had assumed it was).
Looks like game over with this avenue of trouble shooting?
