Hi I am trying to teach myself a bit of mod_python + apache2.0 as I've not worked with either as yet However the 'hello world' is not exactly what I was hoping for In the example: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/inst-testing.html

Can anyone point me in the right direction, as far as I can see it all looks good, apache starts without any errors was config and install is all OK, the "Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_python/3.0.4 Python/2.3 Server at localhost Port 8080" footer kinda implies everything is groovy, however it's not really doing the hello world part...

Could it be absolute paths need to be specified && perhps in local OS form in the <Directory c:\folder\folder\folder> ?? Therefore the request is not being handed to mod_python as not a directory configured for this behaviour?

Further detail:

httpd.conf:

Added: LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

Changed: #

Options FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None

#

To: #CB :: Test MOD-ython-Directive <Directory /htdocs/test> AddHandler python-program .py PythonHandler mptest PythonDebug On

Mptest.py

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req): req.write("Hello World!") return apache.OK

OUTPUT: (http://localhost:8080/test/)
