[Hh#83136] How To Create A Python Web Hosting ?

[HelioHost]

Dear sirs:

 

I want to create a Python web hosting (plian CGI without frameworks)

 

with the purpose of evaluation and future buying a commercial plan.

 

I only can host HTML and PHP files, no Python !

 

How can I do that ?

Thank you

First, we don’t offer any “commercial plan” you can buy. Everything we offer is free.

 

For python, you need to put your files in the cgi-bin folder. The version of python used is determined by the shebang line in your file, and the versions available to you are different depending on which server you pick when you sign up.

You can also make python files executable in directories other than cgi-bin, but it requires .htaccess files to do so. Let us know if you're interested and further instructions can be provided.

I tried as well to put simple test .py file inside cgi-bin folder (http://zecirovi.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/test.py) and I got an error. Thanks.

The first thing I notice is you don't have a shebang so the server has no idea what language to process your script as. Try something simple like this to begin with:

#!/usr/bin/python3.6

print("Content-Type: text/html\n\n")

print("Heliohost rules!")
