Topic: Problem running python as CGI script on CentOS5

[asn2012]

Hi, I have a virtual dedicated server. And I am trying to run Python as CGI script.
1. When I run "rpm -qa | grep python" I get following :
audit-libs-python-1.7.18-2.el5
mod_python-3.2.8-3.1
python-elementtree-1.2.6-5
python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5
python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-6.el5
python-2.4.3-44.el5
libselinux-python-1.33.4-5.7.el5
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.el5_5.1
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-22.el5
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1
python-libs-2.4.3-44.el5

2. I have installed Python3.2 from source in /opt/python3/

3.Running "which python" gives me "/usr/bin/python"

4. In my Apcahe's httpd.conf file, i have made following changes :
i) AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py .c
ii) ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/asn2012/public_html/cgi-bin/"
iii) <Directory "/home/w34admin/public_html/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
iv) <Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

5. There is not issue of uploading file in ASCII mode, since I have created the script on the server itself using vim.

6. The file I want to run has got "chmod a+x filename"

Now when I place the file demo.py within /home/asn2012/public_html/cgi-bin/ and point my browser to the file, it gives "Internal Server Error".

When I tail the log file, it gives me

[Fri Apr 20 00:43:02 2012] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...

Please help me out to successfully run the script. Thanks in advance.

Did you define the shebang line?
