Hello Marat, Thanks for the comment. Yes, I am in the linux environment on a cluster. Tested your idea.
1. The script works, but no output file is written on the cluster i.e. earlier I can't see anything in the console of my browser, now I see that the script executes successfully read off from the console. [ <open file '/tmp/output.txt', mode 'a' at 0x7f1de42e4660> ] 2. So, there's no way of creating a log file in the default directory or some special directory ? However, I have set it up in Xampp and it works great, just worked out of the box.
