Get it working for a normal handler first and don't use
mod_python.publisher.

For a set of instructions on how to get a simple handler working,
including descriptions of common problems and how to debug it, see:


http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/GettingModPythonWorking

Once you have confirmed that your installation works, then consider
looking at mod_python.publisher.

I'd also suggest that you get yourself on the mod_python user mailing
list and seek help there as the mod_python community there is much
larger. Mailing list details are on the mod_python web site.

BTW, don't you mean:

  <Directory "D:/myfolder">

if that is what Alias uses?

Also, don't mix normal handlers and mod_python.publisher functions in
the same module, and don't use files called 'test.py' as there is a
standard Python module by the same name and if things aren't set up
right you can be picking up the wrong module.
