[users@httpd] Testing Mod_python.

[Chris Howell <ch...@pyxisinnovation.com>]

Hi All,
*
FYI, I also posted this to you the Mod_python mailing list, but I am 
hoping someone here might have a solution seeing this before as well. *

So I got  mod_python installed, with apache on my windows box running 
WinXP SP2. When I went to test the mod_install following the directions 
on this site.

http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/inst-testing.html

I put the directory in this my httpd.conf file, and it looks like this.

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/test">
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order deny,allow
  Satisfy all
  AddHandler mod_python .py
  PythonHandler mptest
  PythonDebug On
</Directory>

I restarted the Apache server no problem.

My python test file looks like.

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'text/plain'
    req.write("Hello World")
    return apache.OK
File name: *mptest.py* and it's in the appropriate directory and 
everything.

When I try to point by browser URL at the python file with this.

http://euclid:9000/Test/mptest.py

I get this error message.

Any help would be great.
