Getting python to work, Internal Server Error

Question

I\'m trying to get Python scripts, called from a web browser, to work. I keep getting the error:

500 Internal Server Error

When I check my err

Answer 1

One common error is the wrong path. I my case it was usr/bin/python. The other common error is not transferring the file in ASCII mode. I am using WinSCP where you can set it easily: Go to Options->Preferences->Transfers->click Edit and change the mode to Text.

This code should work:

#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "";
print "";
print "";
print "
Test page using Python
";
print "";
