I am running XAMPP control panel 3.2.2 in order to have Apache and MySQL hosted, and I have correctly imported PyMySQL and cgi, which I have verified to be installed.
However, when I try and run a test script to make sure that everything is working together, it prints part of the program correctly, but not the other stuff. Images attached.
How do I fix this? I have tried Googling solutions but nothing to solve it has come up, and the python.exe location is definitely correct.
Modules verified
Program displayed
Test program
XAMPP running
Alright I fixed it, here is how I did it for anyone looking at this question:
Open the Apache httpd.conf configuration file from XAMPP
Locate the AddHandler block of code using CTRL-F
Where it says
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .asp
Add .py to the end of the list so it instead becomes:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .asp .py
Save the file with .py appended onto it
Restart XAMPP and then launch the file from a web browser, where it should be working

I have a very simple Python script that I want to run though my website. Here is my script:
#!/usr/bin/python
print("This line will be printed.")
Suppose my script is called 'hello.py' and my website is 'mywebsite.com'. My web hosting is provided by BlueHost, and I can access the server through FileZilla. I place 'hello.py' in the public_html directory on the server (which also contains my website html files). Now I try to run the Python script though the browser, so in my web browser I go to 'mywebsite.com/hello.py'. In the web browser, the source code of 'hello.py' is printed. Is there a way to execute the Python script instead?
The following modifications should be made for success:
(1) Python script slightly modified to the following:
#!/usr/bin/python
print("Content-Type: text/html")
print
print("This line will be printed.")
(2) Add the following into the 'IfModule mod_rewrite.c' field of your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py
</IfModule>
Here is the successful output result on my browser, after searching 'mywebsite.com/hello.py':
Contrast this to the output result if either instructions (1) or (2) are not followed - the browser simply outputs the Python source code. For instance, violating instruction (2) yields:
Note that the BlueHost Python or CGI guides do not provide this information. My solution was attained after a series of guess-and-checks, and there might be a more proper way of doing this.
I installed python27 , and also the latest version of apache.
in order to run a simple program by refering link
also edited the httpd.conf file also
but i accessed the folder localhost/cgi-bin displays the error
"Forbiden you don't have the permission to access this folder"
Changed the folder permission from properties of folder.
any other way to solve the problem.
So you have a cgi script named hello.py containing the code from the tutorial and installed in the cgi-bin directory as configured in the httpd.conf file?
If you browse to http://localhost/cgi-bin/ you will most likely see a HTTP 403 Forbidden response with text along the lines of:
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this server.
You need to execute the actual cgi script, not the containing directory, so try browsing to http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.py.
If that doesn't work, what changes did you make to httpd.conf? Have you installed the cgi script in the directory specified in the ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ directive?
Currently, I have PHP and Perl running fine on my machine. What I want to do is run Python websites (Development). I have Python installed. I looked online for ways of doing this, but unfortunately can't run my hello.py file that prints "Hello World" on the screen. (Screen shows the source code, and I have #!/usr/bin/python on the top of the file). I tried to modify my httpd.conf file but it crashed the server and nothing would load. (I followed this tutorial: How do you set up Python scripts to work in Apache 2.0?)
What are the things I need to do/change to successfully run Python website on my Mac?
The easiest way to get a simple "Hello, World!" script running is to enable cgi handling of the scripts. Basically you would modify your httpd.conf and search for an "AddHandler cgi-script" line. Add .py to the end of it so that it looks something like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py
Also, you may need to enable cgi handling for that filetype in that folder.
<Location /some/path/*.py>
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
Finally, make sure you're serving the right content type and headers and out comes your content:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "<html>Hello world!</html>"
If you use a framework like Flask, your Python app can self-host for development.
I am new to python cgi programming. I have installed apache 2.2 server on linux mint and I have my html form in var/www folder which is being displayed properly. Action to the form is a cgi script that I've put in the folder /usr/lib/cgi-bin. But on submit, it says "The requested URL /usr/lib/cgi-bin/file.cgi as not found on this server." Does anyone know the fix for this?
What is the name of your Python program? Is it /usr/lib/cgi-bin/file.cgi?
What are the rights of this file? Can it be read by apache? Can it be executed?
Is first line with #!/usr/bin/env python or similar good? Make sure that this file can be run from command line (ie. shebang is good)
Does apache receive request with that file? Look at apache logs, especially error.log and access.log (probably in /var/log/apache)
Make sure you have enabled ExecCGI for /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ directory in Apache configuration. For examples see at: http://opensuse.swerdna.org/suseapache.html. You can also use ScriptAlias directive.
I am follow this http://pradyumnajoshi.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/setting-up-mod_wsgi-for-apache-and-django-on-windows/
I am using python2.6, Apache2.2, Django1.3 and mod_wsgi>3 on windows xp. now I have installed Apache correctly it is running well. and I have add the following line in httpd.conf file:-
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
Now i restart my Apache server It's running well. But when I have add the following lines in httpd.conf:-
WSGIScriptAlias /wsgi “C:/wsgi_app/wsgi_handler.py”
<Directory “C:/wsgi_app”>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Then restart my Apache server it give error on the prompt "The request operation has failed"
please help me I am new in python.
Thank You.
Whenever debugging Apache, the first place to check is the error and access logs. I've never used apache with Windows, but if you find logs, you'll get a much more descriptive error message.
FYI, I believe it is normally recommended to make the wsgi_handler use a .wsgi extension (though I think this is probably because it is normally named django).
make sure you have wsgi_handler.py file in the directory C:/wsgi_app.
problem may be the symbol with which you are quoting.
replace “C:/wsgi_app/wsgi_handler.py” with "C:/wsgi_app/wsgi_handler.py" and “C:/wsgi_app” with "C:/wsgi_app".
