They are different things and you do not need mod_python to write CGI scripts. In CGI scripts you don't need the functions as script are executed in total each time. Thus, the fact you didn't have functions before suggests to me you weren't truly using mod_python before. Can you post a small but complete self contained example of what you were using before. > My main function is labeled > 'index': Here is a snipet of what I have in propman.py: > > from mod_python import Cookie > def index (req,LLRuser='',LLRpw=''): > global R; R=req; R.content_type="text/html" > cur=DBconnectpropman.DB.cursor() > ...... This code is poorly written. You should NOT assign a "req" object to a global variable because if you ever upgrade to Apache 2.0 and use a multithread Apache MPM then multiple requests could be executing in index() at the same time and they will interfere with each other. You should pass the "req" object to other functions if they need to access it. > So you are saying that I have to modify my calls to my python scrypts > to > be propman.py/index , instead of just propman.py, right? It should be sufficient to use "propman.py" even if you were to use mod_python.publisher as it will fallback to calling "index()". > The version of modpython in my old system was 2.7.10, so I assumed that > they weren't that many changes. > So is there a way to change the call to my scripts so I don't to > append /index ? If you have control over this box, I would highly recommend you upgrade to Apache 2.2 and mod_python 3.2.8.
