I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu LAMP server. The machine would be dedicated to one site, and the site has a few .py files I'm working on. It would seem I have the PHP and MySQL up and running, but the Apache doesn't seem to be executing the .py files (just downloading them).

I then noticed that there seem to be two Interpreters, one at /usr/bin/python and one at /usr/local/bin/python

Which one should my headers be pointing to? At the moment I have !#usr/local/bin/python

I note that I also could have a problem with apache2.conf, but I'm not so sure. Using a virtual host I added a cgi handler (and tried mod_python) with no luck. I could post up the whole vitrual host from apache2.conf of that would help.

I've chkmod +rwx *.py in the site folder. Perhaps I should split this into to two posts, but I think they might be related.

Thanks

You can let the environment decide, which should mean it'll execute using whatever executable is run when you run python in your shell:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Code goes here

  • Thanks for the clarification. This didn't make the LAMP server work, but it's good to know fix the Python script. – Atl LED Jun 26 '13 at 20:19
