Hi, everybody,

My apache can run scripts with extension (.cgi, .pl, .py) in
/var/www/cgi-bin. In ~/user/public_html/cgi-bin, scripts with extension
..cgi or .pl are OK, but .py cannot be run, it always display the source
code even if I add "AddHandler cgi-script .py" in the httpd.conf. Did
anybody experience the same problem?

Thanks,

York

No. In theory, if you have a ScriptAlias directive, everything in the
directory is executed if the file is executable and the right interpreter
can be found. Check the rights on the directory and the scripts.

Reboot? Why? What has that got to do with anything?

Maybe Apache needed to be restarted after a config file change.
Rebooting the box would be a drastic way of doing that.

I would assume he knows that, wouldnt it be one of the very first things you
would learn when contemplating having a website - how to restart apache to
make it see config file changes? Just seems very weird to me to shut the
entire machine off. Kind of like changing radio stations in your car and
shutting the engine off each time. Oh well, if it works for him....

False assumption -- novices don't always know what the experienced
take for granted.

It's not weird if you don't know any better, especially if you've
worked in an environment where "reboot if it doesn't work" is a
standard troubleshooting technique.

 > Oh well, if it works for him....

It may work, but it would be good to learn *why* it worked. If you
learn that a reboot worked because it restarted the web server,
then you're a step closer to knowing that you can simply restart
the web server, thus saving time and not interrupting other system
activity. On the other hand, if restarting the web server doesn't
work but a reboot does, then you still have a mystery that ought
to be solved.
