Hi Ken, Unfortunately for a lot of mod_python beginners, it is not clear why the mptest handler CANNOT be used directly by the publisher handler. First of all, try to have the publisher running as described here : http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/tut-pub.html Then, you'll understand that even if the publisher is correctly configured, if you call /mod_python/mptest.py, then the publisher handler will find the mptest module but NOT an index(req) function inside... You'll have to call /mod_python/mptest.py/handler to specify the function to call (or rename handler to index) and begin to solve your 404 problem. Last, but not least, handlers are supposed to write on the request object and return a status value (hence the return apache.OK), whereas the return value of published functions is the data you want to send back to the client (though you can also write on the request object to make things more interesting). To sum up, handlers are the lowest API of mod_python, and the publisher is just a handler which has its own system for publishing, which somewhat resembles the handler system, but with enough differences to prevent the two from being swappable at will... We know it's quite confusing for a newbie, but now that there are users for the two layers, we can't unify them :).
