Hello everyone! I've been convinced by reading the mod_python manual that python may well be the language for me, moving away from PHP5 with all it's sillyness. I've also decided that if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this properly; that means downloading the source for Apache 2.2.8, mod_python 3.3.1 and compiling this myself. I should learn all this anyway, so why not now? As you may have already guessed, I've hit a snag. I'm attempting to run all this on my 1.83Gh Intel Core Duo Macbook, on OSX 10.4.11. I followed the instructions described at the following address: http://blog.minus-zero.org/post/apache-22-and-mod-python-on-os-x So, how did I do? Well, I got Apache up and running: everything seems tickety-boo there. I downloaded the python installed (v2.5.2) and installed that okay: fired up bash and ran python, and everything seems fine there. I compiled mod_python, and everything seemed okay. I tried to restart apache by I get the following error message generated by apache: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_python.so into server: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python\n Referenced from: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_python.so\n Reason: image not found I double checked the message spewed out when configure and make ran for mod_python, and all the messages that refer to frameworks specify version 2.5, as I would expect. No mention of 2.3 anywhere. It appears to me that mod_python.so was compiled against a framework that supposedly resides in the system/library/frameworks folder that doesn't exist. Now, I had previous problems, and I think I may have had a previous version of python installed (2.3 I think) but I've looked about and I believe I had deleted all references to it. Now when I reinstall python (2.5), I get an error saying that the installation failed, yet python appears to work correctly! I have a suspicion that my poking about has buggered things, proper like. It was my understanding that the python installer would have upgraded 2.3 to 2.5, along with any references to 2.3. But for some reason, mod_python is trying to link to this missing 2.3 framework, even though 2.5 is in the /Library/Frameworks folder, where I believe it should be! Wha! Can anyone help me? I've been fiddling about with this mess for about 48 hours now and I'm so close to getting this working I can taste it! Heres a quick summary: - I may have installed python 2.3 in the past - I installed python 2.5, but it appears that it did not replace all the references to 2.3, because - apache/mod_python complains about a missing 2.3 framework, which - I, in a spate of backspace frenzies, deleted, thinking I wouldn't need it, cos I have 2.5 installed, which has its own framework files located elsewhere Other than that, I'm impressed at how easy this has been so far :) Python looks great, and mod_python has some features that PHP just cant compete on (creating custom apache filters in python? sweet!) Oh, and on top of all this, I suppose I should learn python itself :) Anyone recommend any good books? I hear that the O'Rielly Programming Python book is great. Thanks for your help, in advance!
