Python Not Working?

[leonardodcrapio]

I am trying to run a python test script but am getting a 500 error instead. Permissions are 755 and I added the py extension to Apache Handlers.

 

The link to the test script/my website: http://closedgw.heliohost.org/test.py

 

My question is, what could I be doing wrong?

This might help: http://www.heliohost.org/home/features/languages/python

 

Also, if you could post your script, so that we can come to know the problems.

 

Also, they should be kept in the cgi-bin directory to be executed.

Python scripts are easy to configure and run. Just create a file in your cgi-bin directory under public_html, and place the Python "shebang" line (#!/usr/bin/python) on the first line of the file. Below this line you may write Python code. Make sure you make this file's CHMOD permissions 755, and output a Content-type header before anything else.

I just moved the script to /cgi-bin/ and added the shebang line. The script is located at: closedgw.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/test.py and the index page is present when you go to closedgw.heliohost.org.

 

I am still not getting the expected results. Which is the printing of number 1-10.

Can you post the script here ?

 

Also, have you added the content/type header ? Also, a syntax error in Python can cause this error.

script:

#!/usr/bin/python

print "Content-type: text/html"

print "Python code is working"

 

Excuse my ignorance but I don't understand your second question. It has been a long time since I have messed around with a website.

 

edit: I modified the script to print the string, "Python code is working". So, it should no longer print 1-10.

You are using wrong syntax of print statement for Python.

 

http://yash.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/1.py

 

#!/usr/bin/python
print('Content-Type: text/plain\n\n');
print('Python is working!');

D'oh.

I forgot to check the python version.. Thanks.
