Your file probably need to (a) be in the cgi-bin, not public_html,
(b)
be flagged executable ("chmod a+x file.py"), and (c) begin with the line: '#!/usr/bin/env python'
If the server doesn't provide you with CGI (or, strongly preferable, SCGI or mod_python), you're probably out of luck.
You're probably right, this machine doesn't provide with CGI, I'll send an e-mail to administrator of arbornet.org and make sure.
So, I ask once again: does anyone know where I can put my *.py files? Greetings. Rootshell.
Hi, I just made a cgi script on rht earbornet machine.
Process as follows
mkdir public_html chmod 0755 public_html
cd public_html
mkdir cgi-bin
chmod 0755 cgi-bin
echo hello world > index.html
cd cgi-bin
echo '#!/bin/sh
> echo content-type: text/html
> echo
> echo "<html><head></head><body><h1><font color=red>Hello World!</font></h1></body></html>"
> ' > hw.cgi
chmod a+x hw.cgi
then
http://m-net.arbornet.org/~rgbecker/cgi-bin/hw.cgi
gives a nice red hello world ie acts as a cgi script
I also created the standard echo script
pytestcgi.cgi
as
#!/usr/local/bin/python import cgi cgi.test()
chmodded as before. See
http://m-net.arbornet.org/~rgbecker/cgi-bin/pytestcgi.cgi
