[mod_python] Installation problems with mod_python

Hi,

 

First-time user of this mailing-list and apache/python here. Please be
gentle with me :-)

 

Problem: When I point my browser at a file with the extension .py, the
browser displays the contents of the file rather than the results of running
it. Apache and python both seem to run ok. I have checked FAQs/How
Tos/Getting Started guides but without success.

 

Platform: Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

 

Here are the relevant lines from httpd.conf:

 

# Python

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

 

# Python

<Directory E:/Projects/Web/Home/htdocs/test> 

        AddHandler mod_python .py

        PythonHandler mptest 

        PythonDebug On 

</Directory>

<Location /mpinfo>

      SetHandler mod_python

      PythonHandler mod_python.testhandler

</Location>

<Directory E:/Projects/Web/Home/htdocs/test>

AllowOverride FileInfo

</Directory>

 

The mpinfo location directive seems to work. Here is the Apache version line
from http://localhost/mpinfo:

 

Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.1 PHP/5.2.1

 

But I see no sign of mod_python being loaded successfully in logs/error.log.
Here is what happens when I restart the server:

At one point I read a suggestion to create a .htaccess file in my test
directory (:/Projects/Web/Home/htdocs/test) but on Windows you can't name a
file ".htaccess" so I guess that the right thing to do was to call it
"htaccess" with no extension. E:/Projects/Web/Home/htdocs/test/htaccess
contains:

 

AddHandler mod_python .py

PythonHandler mptest

PythonDebug On

 

and E:/Projects/Web/Home/htdocs/test/mptest.py contains

 

from mod_python import apache

 

def handler(req):

            req.log_error('handler')

            req.content_type = 'text/plain'

            req.send_http_header()

            return apache.OK

 

I note that if I run this from the command prompt I get:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "mptest.py", line 1, in <module>

    from mod_python import apache

  File "E:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py", line 30, in
<module>

    import _apache

ImportError: No module named _apache

 

 

I can't quite put together all the evidence to sort this out. Any help
gratefully received.

 

Ben
