How To Run Python Script On My Server?

Solution 1:

Here's a small checklist of things to check when CGI scripts aren't working:

• Is it in a cgi-bin (or equivalent) folder?
• Is it executable?
• Is it readable?
• Does it have a hashbang?
• Is your server set up to process CGI scripts?

Here's a sample CGI script you can use for testing:

#!/usr/bin/env pythonimport cgi; cgi.test()

Name it test.py, put it somewhere in cgi-bin, and make sure it's executable:

$ chmod a+rx test.py

Some web servers only recognize CGI scripts with certain extensions, so if .py doesn't work, you may want to try .cgi.

Solution 2:

This is a webserver configuration problem not a programming issue.

If you're running Apache, this might work:

chmod 755 myscript.py
ln -s myscript.py myscript.cgi

Then put this in your .htaccess file:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

If you can't run the ln command because of no shell access, just upload with the .cgi extension to begin with. Or, as icktoofay said, put it in your cgi-bin folder, then you won't need the .htaccess modification either.
