The reason is that the request is being received by Apache and it is consulting it's config file to see what it should do, this: > <Directory /var/www/html/> > PythonHandler main > PythonDebug on > </Directory> The PythonHandler statement tells Apache to pass all requests to the main.py handler so your valid.py doesn't get a look in. Adding this to your config would be a quick fix: <Location /valid.py> SetHandler python-program PythonHandler valid </Location> But consult the documentation for mod_python and the various handler tools to establish alternatives that may suit you better. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk
