Configure Python CGI failed

[Steve Holden]

You should look in your Apache error log to see what's been entered there -
you usually find much more information than you get in the browser, and it's
often obvious what the problem is.

Before going further, try the following:

1. Write a Python script and put it in the standard Apache cgi-bin
directory, which comes ready-configured to run programs. This will eliminate
configuration as a source of the problem.

2. Put a "shebang" line at the start of the script to tell Apache where to
find the Python interpreter and identify the script as a script. It will
look something like

    #!C:/Python21/python.exe

3. See if you can run this script in a browser.

If not, make sure you check the Apache error log, and include any entries in
it, as well as copying the exact browser error message, in a further post.

Good luck!

regards
 Steve
