Search back through the mailing list archives using the search box on
the mod_python web site for ideas.

Typical problems are:

- Can't find the MS C/C++ runtime library required by that version
of mod_python. This may be because it isn't installed, not in the
path or not got correct permissions access if running Apache as a
specific user.

- Using an incompatible version of Apache for mod_python version
being used. This might occur if you are using very latest Apache 2.0.X
as there were changes with version of Apache runtime library used.
You may have to use a slightly older version of Apache 2.0.X.

- Registry entries for Python are wrong and it can't find mod_python
Python bits. This usually though results in some errors in Apache
error log though.
