apache mod_python problem

[Ido Yehieli]

Hi all,
    I have succesfully installed apache+mod_python (ubuntu 5.10
(Breezy),
libapache2-mod-python2.4 Version: 3.1.3-3ubuntu1,
apache2 Version: 2.0.54-5ubuntu4,
python2.4 Version: 2.4.2-1).

It seems apache and everything functions fine. I tried to run the
example application from the mod_python site
(http://www.modpython.org/examples/psp_site.tgz) by decompressing the
tgz file in a place where apache can find it, and then access it via
mozilla firefox (simply http://127.0.0.1/psp_site/ where 'psp-site' is
the name of the directory.)

However, instead of running the index.py page like it shoud, I just get
the list of files, as in:

Index of /psp_site

Icon  Name                    Last modified      Size  Description[DIR]

[TXT] view.py                 15-Feb-2006 23:02  726


and clicking any of the .py files just opens the 'open/save' menu. The
.htaccess file contains:

SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On

everything is exactly as it is on "http://www.modpython.org/examples/",
I didn't change anything.

Anyone has any idea as to what went wrong?

Thank you in advance,
