Right: excerpt from my last email:

************
[SNIP]
I also noticed that the localhost/mp pages shows "Apache/2.0.55 (Unix) 
mod_python/3.2.0b Python/2.4.2 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80" at the bottom.

Index of /mp

Icon  Name                    Last modified      Size  Description[DIR] Parent 
Directory                             -   
[DIR] hide/                   18-Oct-2005 17:47    -   
[   ] index.py                18-Oct-2005 18:38  173   

Apache/2.0.55 (Unix) mod_python/3.2.0b Python/2.4.2 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 
80

Also, I changed index.py to a much simpler script (but still no go):

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    
    req.content_type = "text/plain"
    req.send_http_header()
    req.write("Hello World!")
    
    return apache.OK
{SNIP]

Yes I did and figured it was OK

I'll give it a shot and get back to you

I actually did at the time as I had apache installed at the default location, 
I went back to /usr/local because of the static link "problem" and that I 
found /usr/local was recomended on some tutorial

Well, this is where I have my apache source (where I type ./configure)




So I'll try all over just in case.
