[Debian] Mod-python not working

I can not get mod-python to work on my server. Everytime I load a page which is supposed to execute python code, my browser offers to save the file (*.py)

Example .py file I tried:

# /var/www/html/helloworld.py
from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
req.content_type = "text/html"
req.write("Hello World! Blarg!")
return apache.OK

PS: Mod-python was installed using Aptitude.

I run Apache 1.3 together with mod-php and phpmyadmin, all of which work (finally ;))

Can anybody please help me? Which files did I forget to edit, etc?

hey! What are you doing with modpython?

I use ubuntu, apache 1.3 and mod_python 2.7 for some intranet application

By the way, please tell me if you know how to accept arguments in common python handler. (I know how to do it in mp2 publisher or mp3 both handlers)

active modpython in apache:
dpkg-reconfigure apache

Code:

=== httpd.conf ===

<Directory /var/www/>

    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8



(as you see, I use only utf-8)



=== .htaccess ===

SetHandler python-program

PythonHandler mod_python.publisher



#debug on

PythonDebug On



<Files ~ "\.db?$">

    Order allow,deny

    Deny from all

</Files>



DirectoryIndex icr.py



=== icr.py ===

#!/usr/bin/env python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

#all your base is 5th



import re, string

from mx.DateTime import now

import icrBackend



import icrConfig

import icrHelp



#threadsafe locking

class __locked__:

    lock=False





th_index=__locked__()



def index(req):

  if not th_index.lock:

    #threadsafe locking, may work for apache 2

    th_index.lock=True

    __doc__="main handler"

    #default the parameter from the request handler

    param=dict(req.form)

    #...another 500 lines...

    #unlock thread

    th_index.lock=False

    return " " #mp weirdness, don't ask me why

I tried, and got this:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.publisher"

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 193, in Dispatch
result = object(req)

File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 133, in handler
module = apache.import_module(module_name, _req, [path])

File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 335, in import_module
module = imp.load_module(mname, f, p, d)

File "/var/www/icr.py", line 6, in ?
from mx.DateTime import now

ImportError: No module named mx.DateTime

if you see those message, it is working now!

my program use mxDateTiem and pysqlite but you may not need them.
try to replace icr.py with these lines.

Code:

def index(req):

    req.content_type="text/html"

    req.send_http_header()

    req.write("<html>All your base are belong to python!</html>")

    return " "

It works, thanks al lot !

( now I'm gonna find out why it now does work )

it wasn't working because you have not enable mod_python in /etc/apache/modules.conf, by running dpkg-reconfigure apache you did it.

In post #3, the messages you mentioned is actually debug code, it was running correctly
