Error while configuring python in apache2

  • 772

I was trying to configure python to apache2 as suggested by http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91101

  1. First downloaded and installed and enabled mod_python module

  2. Changed /etc/apache2/sites-available/default as specified

    <Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all

    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
    PythonDebug On

    # Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
    # default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
    #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

  3. created test.py in my /var/www and restarted apache.

  4. Getting 404-Not Found error for localhost/test.py

  5. On my error.log i have

    [Sun Apr 10 14:07:04 2011] [notice] mod_python (pid=5591, interpreter='localhost.localdomain'): Importing module '/var/www/test.py'

I am using Ubuntu-10.10. Anyone any ideas ???

UPDATE enter image description here

10.10

    I think the folder is /var/www and NOT /www/var.

    Did you add:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    As the first line in your python script? If not it won't be recognized as a python script.

    Also try to disable the plugin and tell me if it outputs the contents of the file when you go to localhost/test.py.

    I hope this helped you, Daniel
