[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-28?page=all ]
Nicolas Lehuen resolved MODPYTHON-28:
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I've added a bit of documentation about testing and using the testhandler.
Despite my efforts, I did not manage to install a proper LaTeX environnement to
check my modifications, so I hope everything is OK.
> Add a standard test handler in the distribution
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MODPYTHON-28
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-28
> Project: mod_python
> Type: Improvement
> Versions: 3.1.4, 2.7.10
> Reporter: Nicolas Lehuen
> Assignee: Nicolas Lehuen
> Fix For: 3.2.0
>
> Improving the testing phase of the installation is crucial as we get a steady
> stream of question from new users who can't run the mptest or are confused
> about its meaning (for example, the fact that any URL ending with .py runs
> the mptest handler is misleading at first).
> We should include a standard mptest handler in the distribution so that we
> can better help beginners, without making them struggle with a new file
> PYTHONPATH, syntax errors in the handler, etc. Ideally, the mptest handler
> should display useful informations both in the Apache log and in the result
> page ; this would help us check their environment and provide better help.
> The information displayed could be (both in the log and the result page) :
> - Apache version (+MPM type if this information can be queried at runtime)
> - Python version
> - mod_python version
> - sys.path
> - mod_python.publisher available yes/no
> - mod_python.psp available yes/no
> Of course, if anything goes wrong, it should be clearly stated in the Apache
> log (no misleading 404 errors, please !).
> The testing phase of the installation would then be : 1) set "SetHandler
> mod_python.mptest" directive and 2) watch the results. This would be far less
> messy as it is currently.
