cgi

[Mohamed Najmeddine]

Hello,
My cgi script is working now. I had to add the following line at the
beginning of the file:
#!c:\python20\python.exe
I'm not sure why given the fact that the registry setup should have executed
the cgi script.
Anyhow, that seems to do it.
Med.

Hello,
I have run the script from the command line and it works.
I have add the -u option to the registry and restarted the PC but I still
get the same error message. I should mention that I'm running on windows
2000 PRO.
I configured the Personal WebServer (PWS) according to the instructions
given at http://starship.python.net/crew/aaron_watters/pws.html
The /cgi-bin in inetpub/wwwroot/ dir is setup as "execute".

Attached are the scripts and the ouput.
Thanks,
MED.

Try to run the script directly from Python like so:

    python hello.cgi

You have a syntax error in the script.  I can't see an error in the sample
you posted, but there must be one there.

Also, regarding the registry setup for Python, using the -u (unbuffered)
option is sometimes necessary:

    "C:\python\python.exe -u %s %s"
