[Moin-user] RE: [Moin-devel] problem getting test page to work

[Kotha, Srikanth]

Florian and Thomas,

The problem seemed to be because of the python installation as you
mentioned.  I switched to python 2.3.2 and it's working fine now.

Thanks for the help.
Srikanth.

Looks like your Python installation is dammaged or buggy (Python 2.2.1 is
known to have some serious bugs).

Try:

import urllib
import socket

in the interpreter to verify this. If the import works it is possible that
some environment variables are not set properly in the CGI environment of
the webserver, but this is not very likely.

Consider updating to Python 2.2.2 or even better 2.3.2 and try compiling
it on that maschine.


	Hope that helps
