Hello!
I posted below question in the "Python" forum and realized that maybe it should be in Apache forum instead ?
Anyways, I appreciate any help...
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm new to both Python and Apache so sorry for any upcoming
dummy questions
I'm running Linux (Ubuntu 6.10) and have installed the following:
- Apache 2.0.55
- Python 2.4.4c1
- libapache2-mod-python
One thing I'm still not clear about is if mod-python and CGI scripts are
the same thing or not ? Because I think I've got it all mixed up. I don't
think that mod-python is really needed to run python scripts or am I
wrong ?
Anyways, in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I have the following lines
AddHandler cgi-script .py
<Directory /var/www>
AddHandler mod_python .py
</Directory>
In the directory /var/www I have 2 files htmlgen.py and mypage.html
File: htmlgen.py
------------------------
import cgi
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "Testing... "
File mypage.html
--------------------------
<form action="htmlgen .py" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Test">
</form>
Now when I open mypage.html I get a button saying "Test". When I press this button Firefox wants to download the file called htmlgen.py. Why? Apache is not running the file, just sending it.
I hope someone can help me. I've read all documentation I could find but don't know what is wrong.
Best Regards
