When following the Windows installation instructions for mod_python.py verbatim, I get the same error message when trying to run test.py, under both NT4 and Windows 2000. That message is: python_handler: make_obcallback returned no obCallBack! Your help in solving this problem will be appreciated. Also I have some comments about the install instructions at: http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-2.6.3/doc/windows.html that might or might not shed light on my problem. First of all these instructions only mention 1.52 whereas I'm running Python 2.0; I did however download the .dll for 2.0 from the home page (NOT the 1.52 .dll). Secondly, just to be certain, I downloaded the one and only .tgz installation from the home page: does this work for both Windows AND Linux?! Furthermore, in contradiction to the Windows installation doc, when I unzip the .tgz file I do NOT get a "new folder". Rather I get another .tar file; extrapolating from the instructions, however, I just extracted this to my python/lib folder (C:\Python20\Lib), which resulted in a subfolder under lib named "mod_python-2.6.3". Moving on to the Apache Integration section of the install, I stopped and re-started Apache after each directive I added, to be certain! However I do find the instructions about the ScriptAlias/CGI section of httpd.conf to be confusing: these aren't necessarily the same thing. On the first install (on Windows 2000) I added the indicated directives to the others for my CGI directory. On the subsequent NT install I instead followed the instructions verbatim, creating a "python" directory under my document_root "htdocs" directory. Regardless, as noted above, I got the same error message for both installs. Finally, please note that as a final control I created a test.py program in my cgi-bin as follows: #! C:\Python20\python.exe print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" print "Whatever" And it ran flawlessly. So my Apache and Python are working properly (and I can proceed to develop my application if solving this problem doesn't happen overnight ;) OK, I will look forward to whatever light anybody in the group can shed on this. If I'm being an idiot please be gentle. On the other hand if any of my comments are useful I would not mind getting involved in revising the install docs (PS, the installation.html that I extracted is not the same as the installation for windows doc on the website) Thanks in advance George Jempty __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
