[mod_python] Can't seem to get mod_python working, please help me

Ok I tried your suggestions, but I get the "No module named _apache"
error. I modified the path earlier to add the python directory, which
enabled the module to load (previously it couldn't find python24.dll)
I added the site-packages directory as well, but no effect. I don't
know how to change the permissions, but I installed apache as the user
I am now, and there are only two users on this computer, both with
full admin priveledges. Besides which apache loads php just fine (I
also commented the lines regarding php out but it had no effect)

I also started up the interpreter and checked sys.path, it had a lot
of entries in there, including of course the site-packages directory
and the htdocs directory.

I'm rather baffled now as to why it won't work.

Thanks,
-Dan
