Apache & Python 500 Error

[Christian]

Hello,

i have an apache 1.3 server with python on debian. Python works fine but
the scripts wont´t work.

This easy script i want to do on apache:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
os.getcwd()

in apache config i have done this:

<Directory /var/www/python>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler python
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#PythonDebug On
</Directory>

the script is in this directory /var/www/python

but i get an 500 error everytime, with "every" script - why that - i´m
newbie - sorry for that :)

greetings from germany to newsgroup

Re: Apache &amp; Python 500 Error

What does the error log report ?

It is *possible* that you are getting an error 500 because your are
not emitting valid headers.

Try this instead :

#!/usr/bin/python

print 'Content-Type: text/plain\r'
print '\r'
import os
print os.getcwd()

I know what your problem is.

But first, check your apache error log. Then you will know what your error
is, too.

If you can't fix it after you try to fix the error in the log, or you
don't understand the log entry, post your program and all relevant log
entries. You did good posting your Apache configuration, but we also need
the log entries.

That said, fuzzyman is right, but keep this in mind for future help
requests.
