    setting up mod_python handlers on a server?

    I get this internal error message when I try to access a PSP page:

    "Invalid command 'PythonHandler' , perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
    module not included in the server configuration"

    So it seems that mod_python is not fully configured yet to handled PSP
    pages. When I check the installed Apache handlers, there is an entry
    called "mod_python .psp" where the first term is the handler and the
    second is the extension. I also tried adding "PythonHand ler" as it
    appears in the htaccess file, but nothing is working. Sometimes the HTML
    is displayed, and other times I get a 500 Internal Server Error page.

    I had assumed when a server has mod_python installed, you can start
    using PSP functionality automatically, but I guess there's more work to
    do to set it up. Can anyone tell me what else I might need to do? Add
    another handler, perhaps?

    Thanks.

      I'm just learning apache and mod_python myself so no expertise, but do
      you have an 'AddHandler' or a 'SetHandler' before 'PythonHandler' ?

      I have this:

      SetHandler mod_python
      PythonPath "sys.path"
      PythonHandler mod_python.publ isher
      PythonDebug On

      and I think what you want is:

      AddHandler mod_python .psp
      PythonHandler mod_python.psp

          This is what I have in my htaccess file (along with debugging). But
          there is also an option in the control panel to set new handlers and
          extensions on the server, but I'm not sure what to call them, so I've
          been trying several combinations, like:

          mod_python .psp #this wasn't there yesterday, but is now
          PythonHandler .psp
          mod_python.psp .psp

          You get the idea. I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track by trying
          to add new handlers though.

              Chances are that you will get much more help on the mod_python mailing
              list which is at http://modpython.org/ and please send all your apache
              directives referring to mod_python that way it should be easier to see
              where the problem is.
