Notes originally created by Enrique Vaamonde <span class="email">evaamo@loquesea.com</span>
<P>
<i>Your mileage may vary with these instructions</i>
<P>
You need to have the following packages properly installed and
configured in your system:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Python 1.5.2 or 2.0
</LI>
<LI>Apache 1.3
</LI>
<LI>Winzip 6.x or later.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
You need to download both the mod_python.dll and the mod_python-x.tgz
(where x is the version number) files from the main page. Once you
have all the things above mentioned we're good to go.
<P>
<OL>
<LI>Installing mod_python libraries
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Use Winzip to extract the distribution file (mod_python-x.tgz) into a
temporary folder (i.e <code>C:\temp</code>):
<P>
</LI>
<LI>NOTE: If Winzip shows this warning "Archive contains one file, should
Winzip decompress it to a temporary folder?" just click on Yes, the
content of the file should appear in Winzip right after.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Select all the files in Winzip and click on the Extract button, then
type-in the path or just browse your way to the temporary folder and
click extract.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Open your Windows Explorer and locate the temporary folder where you
extracted the distribution file, you should have a new folder in your
temporary folder (<code>C:\temp\mod_python-x</code>).
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Move (or just drag & drop) the mod_python-x folder into the Python lib
folder (i.e <code>C:\Program Files\Python\lib</code>).
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Move the files in the folder lib inside the mod_python folder
(<code>C:\Program Files\Python\lib\mod_python-x\lib\mod_python</code>) to the
<code>C:\Program Files\Python\lib\mod_python</code> folder. It's safe to delete
these folders we just emptied.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Integrating it with Apache
<P>
Once the distribution file is correctly extracted and later moved into
the Python directory, it's time to modify your Apache configuration
(httpd.conf) and integrate the server with mod_python. These are a few
steps we must do first:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Locate the file mod_python.dll that you downloaded before and move it
to Apache's modules folder (i.e <code>C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\modules</code>).
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Go to the Apache configuration folder (i.e <code>C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\</code>) and edit the httpd.conf file.
<P>
Add the following line in the section "Dynamic Shared Object (DSO)
Support" of the httpd.conf file:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.dll
</pre></dl>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Add the following lines in the section ScriptAlias and CGI of the httpd.conf:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
<Directory "<Your Document Root>/python">
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug on
</Directory>
</pre></dl>
<P>
NOTE: Replace the <Your Document Root> above with the Document Root
you specified on the DocumentRoot directive in the Apache's httpd.conf
file.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Last, create a folder under your Document Root called python.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Testing
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Create a text file in the folder we created above and call it mptest.py
(you can use Notepad for this).
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Insert the following lines and save the file (Make sure it gets saved
with the .py extension):
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.content_type = "text/plain"
req.send_http_header()
req.write("Hello World!")
return apache.OK
</pre></dl>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Make sure Apache is running (or launch it!) and then point your
browser to the URL referring to the mptest.py, you should see "Hello
World!".
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
</LI>
</OL>
<P>
That's it, you're ready to roll!! If you don't see the "Hello World!"
message, the next section is for you.
