Hi,

I am looking for a small python script, which starts a small
web server with python cgi support on a linux machine.

I tried:


#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from CGIHTTPServer import CGIHTTPRequestHandler
import BaseHTTPServer

class MyRequestHandler(CGIHTTPRequestHandler):
# In diesem Verzeichnis sollten die CGI-Programme stehen:
cgi_directories=["/home/fab/Desktop/cgi-bin"]


def run():
# 8000=Port-Nummer
# --> http://localhost:8000/
# Fuer http://localhost/
# Port-Nummer auf 80 setzen
httpd=BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('', 8000), MyRequestHandler)
httpd.serve_forever()

if __name__=="__main__":
print "Starting Server"
run()

but when I want to test a small python cgi test file:


#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

# Debugging für CGI-Skripte 'einschalten'
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

print "Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8\n"
print "Hello World!"

I just get the text and not the html output. The file's mode
is 755.

Is there anything wrong with the webserver script or do I do
something completely wrong? Maybe, you have a different
webserver script?

Probably the server is not executing your CGI script. If it is the
Apache web server that you are using then just ensure the following
settings in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is exactly like
following:

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Maybe, I understood something wrong, but I thought that the
above 'webserver' script would replace apache in my case; at
least I hoped!?

Greetings!

Oh yes...Your script is supposed to replace apache. I tried with your
script on my pc and its working just fine. However the problem still is
that the server is taking your file to be a plain file rather than a
CGI script. Looking at CGIHTTPServer.is_cgi method might prove helpful.
