[Solved] First easy basic standard Python CGI

[theil]

I try to write an easy basic CGI in python and get this Internal server error 500.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

user/script theil.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/hello-get.py on johnny

 

just a "Hello World"

 

#!/usr/bin/python[LF]

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

print("Hello")[LF]

 

+ The [LF] are the right line endings with notepad++.

+ I changed the permissions on Windows to everyone.

 

Why can´t it just work...

 

Thanks in advance!

The hello-get.py script is currently 664. It needs to be 755. You didn't make it executable.

Thanks, hope in sight *g*

Any suggestion how I would do that easiest in Win10?

(i clicked right/security/everyone in dir already can do all... and still 664?)

 

That would be a FAQ topic for implementing Python as CGI...

Log in to cpanel, click file manager, navigate to your file, highlight it, and click the permissions button in the top right area.

Happy 2018!

 

Permissions don't work with 777.

 

Thnx, Andy

Finally. Set permissions to 755, now it works. Why? Don't ask me. But hope others will find this helpful.

 

-> set to 755 in cpanel/file manager (no write world/group)

-> use notepad ++ in windows, just lf no cr

 

Solved so far. Thnx.

Im glad its working for you. Let us know if you need any help or have any questions.

If it's anything like what causes this for php, it's because of the group attribute (the second number in the permissions). The files cannot be writable by the group.

 

It'd be a bad idea from a security standpoint to have stuff writable by the public too, unless it's something meant for that, like a folder for public file uploads.
