[mod_python] Re: mod_python problem under WinXP

If you have mod_python questions, there is a mailing list for this 
purpose.
I would rather they not be sent to me directly. :-(

See:

   http://mailman.modpython.org/mailman/listinfo/mod_python

for details of subscribing to the mailing list and where to post.

This email has been cc'd to the list and I provide a couple of
comments, but ....

If this is actually your config, you have a couple of problems. First is
the directory path is broken in that it is missing the colon from the
driver specifier and second you have both SetHandler and AddHandler 
defined
at the same time, which may cause issues. Try just:

<Directory "D:/www/python">
    AddHandler python-program .py
    PythonHandler mptest
    PythonDebug on
</Directory>

Did you actually restart Apache to pick up the changed config. You 
should
at least see a mod_python startup message.

Try referring to and following through:

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-001.html

Then get yourself subscribed to the mailing list and ask further 
questions
there. I don't use Win32 machines such as Windows XP and so if it comes 
down
to being a Win32 issue, I will not know the answer, but others probably 
will.
