mod_python permissions
This is giving me a headache. I have a simple script that opens a file and writes to it.
Something called foo.py that looks like this:
file = open("foo.txt","a")
file.write("Cheese and Killer Rabbits")
file.close()
But this just gives me:
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler foo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-p
result = object(req)
File "/var/www/py/create.py", line 49, in handler
file = open("foo.txt","a")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'foo.txt'
I need to get it so that Apache will recgonise all files ending in .py as python files and allow me to have proper permissions to write and change files.
I have something like this setup so far in Apache:
<Directory /var/www/py/>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler foo
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
I know that only will work for foo.py, but the other setup:
AddHandler pythong-program .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
just doesn't work at all. When I try to access files with that in apache it says they cannot be found.
I am running Apache as webuser who has full permissions over the directory /var/www/py/. When logged on as webuser I can do anything I want in the directory and when I use PHP I can also read/write etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

you also might check if the user apache is allowed to write to the file (file system permissions).

Ok, I just upgraded python to 2.3.4 and still the same old problem with mod_python.publisher.
What happens is, when that option it enabled, even though I can see it in the directory listing, my python files just return
Not Found
The requested URL /mytest.py was not found on this server.
But it IS there

Make sure that mytest.py is owned by the same user as apache and that it is executable by that same user

Linux:/var/www/py# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 webuser webuser 486 Aug 7 17:40 mytest.py
still cannot be found?

What I need is to be able to send data from a html to a python script.
I know you can send data from inside one script to another via urllib2 but how to send data from html form without mod_python?

You need to use Python 2.2.1 or later. Earlier versions of Python will not work. It appears from your posting that you're using Python 2.1.
Also, do you know for sure that the file you're trying to open is located in the directory you think it is? You might want to look at the output of os.path.abspath( 'foo.txt' ) just to be sure.
