[mod_python] HELP needed for Mod_python & Apache on a Win XP machine

Tue Mar 18 14:58:47 EDT 2008

I'm dying here...Has anyone ever been able to successfully use mod_python,
Apache and Windows XP together???   I have yet to find anything that has
helped me with a solution to this dilemma.  I seem to have everything set up
correctly, installation wise and apache httpd.conf file wise.and still can't
get the basic handler test to work.  Any suggestions at all would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards..Joe

UPDATE!!!

I have added a directory "test" to the following:

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/test">

Now when I put http://localhost/hello.py in my browser(IE) I receive the
code for the hello.py file in the browser and the following in the Apache
error log:

ImportError: No module named mod_python.apache

My environment is as follows:

Windows XP Prof 2002 sp2

> Python 2.4.3

> Apache 2.2.8

> mod_python 3.3.1

I have added the following lines to the Apache httpd.conf file:

LoadFile "C:/Python24/Python24.dll"

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

Servername is the following:

ServerName localhost:80

Under the "DocumentRoot" section of the Apache httpd.conf file, I changed
the following:

<Directory/>

      Options FollowSymLinks

      AllowOverride None

      Order deny,allow

      Deny from all

</Directory>

TO:

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/">

      AddHandler mod_python .py

      PythonHandler hello

      PythonDebug On

      Options FollowSymLinks

      AllowOverride None

      Order deny,allow

      Deny from all

</Directory>

The rest of the Apache httpd.conf file is the same as was when Apache 2.2.8
was installed

I have added the following python module to the Apache2.2/htdocs directory:

>From mod_python import apache

Def handler(req):

      req.content_type = 'text/plain'

      req.write("Hello World!")

      return apache.OK

When I enter the request http://localhost/ into my browser(IE) I receive "It
Works" from the index.html file contained in the Apache2.2/htdocs
directory....This is good.

When I enter the request http://localhost/hello.py into my browser(IE) I
receive the following:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin at localhost and inform them of
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

The message I get in the server error log is as follows:

ImportError: No module named mod_python.apache

[Tue Mar 18 12:11:04 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] python_handler: Can't

Can someone please help me with this issue.  I have no other version of
python installed on my pc.  I have installed and re-installed both Apache
and Mod_python to no success.   Can anyone please shed some light on what
the problem is???  It shouldn't be this hard!!!
