[mod_python] [PROBLEM] "python_handler: make_obcallback returned no obCallBack"

Hello all,

I have used this as my guide:
"http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-2.5/doc/installation.html"

My host o/s: SunOS 2.7 Generic_106542-04 i86pc

I statically linked mod_python into my apache 1.3.9 httpd
and moved it into place, then restarted the daemon.  Telnet
to port 80 shows:

Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) mod_python/2.5 Python/1.5.2

I followed the instructions in bullet points 3-7 in section "3. Testing"
in installation.html, as my reading of points 1-2 indicates those
steps apply to the DSO option only.

I then created a file "mptest.py" as indicated in the instructions,
(bullet point 6) mode 755 in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test, 
which is world readable (httpd runs as user "http").

My first .htaccess in the same directory contained the following,
as per the instructions:

AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug

I tried to call mptest.py via CGI, with this error_log output (attn
Gregory):

[Wed Sep 20 12:49:52 2000] [alert]
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test/.htaccess: 
PythonDebug must be On or Off

...after which I modified .htaccess as follows ("On" switch):

AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On

Trying again, I get the following error_log output:

make_obcallback(): could not import mod_python.apache.
make_obcallback(): could not call init.
[Wed Sep 20 13:10:24 2000] [error] python_handler: make_obcallback
returned no obCallBack!

My httpd.conf contains the following:

<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Insight, anyone?  I'm not sure if the contents of these archives
contain insight relevant to my problem:

"http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2000-June/000091.html"
"http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2000-June/000092.html"

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Russell
