How to use a python CGI script on Plesk?

[rsa16]

Hi!

I've already enabled CGI support from Hosting Settings and I placed my script in /httpdocs/cgi-bin/. I also gave the script the neccessary permissions to be executed and yet when I visit the page, https://rehan.heliohost.us/cgi-bin/install.py, it simply returns a 404 with "Not Found". If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Rehan.

Never mind, I just had to wait a little bit. Sorry!

Hi @rsa16,

I am glad you managed to run it.

Please also note you can run it outside of the cgi-bin directory if you want it. And since it is a script to show installed modules, you could also be interested in checking that: https://helionet.org/index/topic/55077-python-info-on-heliohost-servers/

Oh, I didn't know that was a thing! The script is actually for both purposes, to install modules locally for my user and to show what's installed for me specifically.
