[mod_python] Problems with mod_python

[Peter Halliday]

While waiting for someone to email me an RPM of mod_python 2.4.1, I
tried compiling it.  I got a copy of the apache source as well as the
above mod_python source.  Then I installed it using the DSO instructions
on the modpython webpage.  Everything seemed to go ok.  (One problem
however, I was unsure whether my python was compiled using thread
support because I use RedHat with the standard RPM that came with it. 
However, everything seemed ok when I compiled.  No error messages.  I
added these lines to my apache config file.

LoadModule python_module  module/mod_python.so
AddModule mod_python.c
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler test
PythonDebug On
I changed the FileInfo directive to AllowOverride in the apache conf
file
and then in my mime.types file I added:
application/x-python py

 
In my DocumentRoot directory I created a directory called test.  I had a
script with the following contents.

from mod_python import apache

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

I still get the same error when I add a '#!/usr/bin/python' to the top
of the file.  The following is the error that I receive.  I am running
RedHat Linux 6.2, Apache 1.3.12, mod_python 2.4.1., python 1.5.  I have
kept everything standard as came on RedHat.  

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler test"

Traceback (innermost last):
