Hello! I'm trying to determine how mod_python determines what server name its handlers are being applied to? Here's an example... In Apache, ServerName is exogen.cwru.edu:80, and UseCanonicalName is Off. What this combination means is that anyone can access the address http://exogen.cwru.edu, and people inside the cwru.edu domain can access http://exogen and NOT have Apache 'redirect' them to http://exogen.cwru.edu. If UseCanonicalName were On, it would effectively replace any request for just 'exogen' with 'exogen.cwru.edu'. Here's where mod_python comes in. I have the following directive set up, which in short, enable the mod_python handler for any files in the /python subdirectory of my webserver ('Apache' is NOT Apache's install path, but what most people name 'htdocs'): <Directory "F:/Apache/python"> AllowOverride FileInfo SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler mod_python.publisher </Directory> As expected, any request for a Python script when accessing it through http://exogen.cwru.edu/python/ actually parses the requested script using mod_python. However, even with UseCanonicalName set to Off, a request for scripts in http://exogen/python/ (the same directory, but with a differently supplied ServerName) return the contents of the script rather than handing it over to mod_python. Any help would be greatly appreciated -- I really do not want to set UseCanonicalName to On but still want scripts to be handled using mod_python. Do I have to use virtual hosts or something to accomplish this? -- Brian Beck Adventurer of the First Order
