Hey guys,

I noticed that mod_wsgi uses apache with prefork module and other modules like http2 are not compatible with prefork, is there any other module I can use to run python files? if so, which one and how?

Thanks.

You can run python as cgi. Then every script that you call from the web needs a shebang line like

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python


And you need to send the correct header like (note the empty line after the header is needed before the content follows.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-# enable debugging
import cgitb
cgitb.enable() print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print()
print("Hello World!")

I tried as both, CGI and FastCGI and in both cases error.log keeps saying:

FastCGI:
End of script output before headers

CGI:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Any ideas what can be causing this?

I'm not a Linux person but should that still not be
#!/usr/bin/env/python ?

The white space is correct. It is like on windows

Code:
where explorer.exe

Are you file chmod +x ?


Please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html and https://docs.python.org/2/howto/webservers.html

if you still have a question please ask again.
