Problem with using ConfigParser.py

[Anthony Raj]

Hi Folks,

 

Having a very strange problem in using python with apache/mod_python. 

 

[conf.py attached]

>>> from ast.conf import conf
>>> c = conf()
>>> a = c.readPath('sandbox')
>>>  len (a)

>>>  30

 

The same code when run thru the a web script gives following error -

>>>> 

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/ast/ast-linux.conf'

 
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.publisher"
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in
HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 213,
in handler
    published = publish_object(req, object)
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 412,
in publish_object
    return publish_object(req,util.apply_fs_data(object, req.form, req=req))
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/util.py", line 439, in
apply_fs_data
    return object(**args)
 
  File "/var/www/html/ast-sandbox/testConf.py", line 9, in index
    path = c.readPath('sandbox')
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ast/conf.py", line 40, in readPath
    self.vars = self.conf.options(target)
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ConfigParser.py", line 241, in options
    raise NoSectionError(section)
 
NoSectionError: No section: 'sandbox'

>>>>> 

 

WebScript -

----

import sys

from ast.conf import conf

 

def index(req, **kw):

    sys.stdout = req

    req.content_type = 'text/html'

 

    c = conf()

    path = c.readPath('sandbox')

    print path

----

 

The configuration file is the standard format used by ConfigParser module.

 

The permission for the ast-linux.conf file is the same as the user/group
defined in httpd.conf.

 

[root at CVS ast-sandbox]# ls -l /home/ast/ast-linux.conf

-rw-rw-rw- 1 777 ast 7936 Jun 21 11:11 /home/ast/ast-linux.conf

 

Any pointers would help.

 

TIA

~Anthony
