2.5 Troubleshooting

There are a few things you can try to identify the problem:

Carefully study the error output, if any.
Check the server error log file, it may contain useful clues.
Try running Apache from the command line in single process mode:
```
    ./httpd -X
```
This prevents it from backgrounding itself and may provide some useful information.
Beginning with mod_python 3.2.0, you can use the mod_python.testhandler to diagnose your configuration. Add this to your httpd.conf file :
```
    <Location /mpinfo>
      SetHandler mod_python
      PythonHandler mod_python.testhandler
    </Location>
```
Now point your browser to the /mpinfo URL (e.g. http://localhost/mpinfo) and note down the information given. This will help you reporting your problem to the mod_python list.
Ask on the mod_python list. Make sure to provide specifics such as:
- Mod_python version.
- Your operating system type, name and version.
- Your Python version, and any unusual compilation options.
- Your Apache version.
- Relevant parts of the Apache config, .htaccess.
- Relevant parts of the Python code.
