There have been questions from Karl Kobata and John Cartwright and I may have a partial answer. In particular, one of the problems that I spent a little time over was the use of the Apache <Directory> tag to control mod_python configuration. The example in the mod_python tutorial is slightly ambiguous, particularly as it is written from a Unix / Linux perspective. I suspect that this is bog-standard Apache configuration rather than anything peculiar to mod_python but I guess that people are coming fairly new to both at the same time (as was I). The directory in the <Directory> tag has to be an absolute Windows directory that should include a drive letter. This will have to map to a directory under the Apache root directory. I was expecting the reference to be relative to the Apache root directory. For example, suppose that you have an Apache configuration with the Apache root set to E:\ApacheRoot and you have a sub-directory testdir in which you have placed mod_python sources. Then you can refer to URIs in this directory from the browser as http://yourdomain/testdir/test.py if you have a set of Apache directives such as the folliowing <Directory "E:\ApacheRoot\testdir"> AddHandler mod_python .py PythonHandler mptest PythonDebug On </Directory> In this case, my confusion was to assume that I would have a tag as follows: <Directory "/testdir"> ... BTW, if you are really struggling with set-up, I got some initial progress by omitting the <Directory> tag and just having the AddHandler etc. at the root level. Of course, this is not wise for a real implementaton but, if you are trying to find out if your mod_python installation is OK then it gave me some information. of course, I had to put the .py file in the Python Lib directory in the installation so it could be imported but that did get me some basics working. I hope that this helps. if it is misleading or irrelevant then please ignore it and accept my apologies. -- Ian McDowall i.d.mcdowall at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
