[Solved] Install Python module legacy-cgi

[man95]

Apologies if my language is rude,

I just uploaded an old program of mine—from before last May crash—and it runs perfectly on my computer. However, as soon as I uploaded it, it broke like a shit, and the worst part is that the logs never tell me what the hell is wrong.

I’ve tried changing permissions and following tutorials, but I’m still getting a 500 Internal Server Error.

Please help me. Thx.

An administrator will be able to look into this for you. What kind of program are you trying to deploy?

Not too complex, just a regular CGI program.

The error logs do in fact show what's wrong with your program. This is what I found when I logged in as you and checked your error logs.

AH01215: stderr from /home/man95.helioho.st/httpdocs/pustaka/pelajar.py: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cgi', referer: https://man95.helioho.st/pustaka/

The built in Python cgi module is no longer supported as of version 3.13. The old server had 3.12 so it could run it, but the new one is 3.14 and cannot.

I don't know how, but my logs before 2026-07-11 07:00:00 are only like this:

Can you install legacy-cgi? ( https://pypi.org/project/legacy-cgi/ )

It works on my computer. I'm using Python 3.14.

Krydos might be able to install that module for you.

As for those other logs, odds are either your domain was still setting up, or your permissions were wrong at that time.

Installed. You can see the current list of installed modules for Johnny's Python 3.14 at https://johnny-info.heliohost.org/pyinfo/info3.14.py

Thank you all @Krydos @wolstech @Unknown025
