Thanks, I appreciate the help.

As I have tried a few things, my httpd.conf has changed some (changes included 
at the end of this email: complete file bounces the email: too big).

PS: I'm also using DSO as I have not managed to get the static version to 
configure, configure kept looking for config files/dirs in /usr/local/apache2 
while I have apache installed in /usr/local - so I creation some symbolic 
link (conf, logs, icons) in /usr/local/apache2: I used to have apache 
pre-compiled but recompiled it for the above problem.

********* START - SATIC LINK*************
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/ 
--with-apache=/home/philippe/downloaded/httpd-2.0.55/
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for ar... ar
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for main in -lm... yes
checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes
checking your blood pressure... a bit high, but we can proceed
configure: checking whether apxs is available...
checking for --with-apxs... /usr/local/apache2/bin/ executable, good
checking Apache version... ./configure: line 1: /usr/local/apache2/bin/: is a 
directory
./configure: line 1: /usr/local/apache2/bin/: is a directory
./configure: line 1: /: is a directory

configure: error: This version of mod_python only works with Apache 2. The one 
you have seems to be .

******** END ***************
The problem is that when I try to browse localhost/mp, I get a list of files.

This is the top of index.py (which I got from the mod_python site I believe)
