Python in subdir not working

[stadin]

This seems a stupid question. But I don't get any python script working under a subdirectory other than mod_python/py, for example mody_python/py/wiki.

Another strange thing is that when i copy the file py/logbrowse.py ALONE (so without the accomanying html and log files) from the concept demo to /py/wiki/logbrowse.py and open the url (so "...../py/wiki/logbrowse.py/doIt") it shows the contents of the log - which is not in that directory. So the python handler obviously calls the script in py/logbrowse.py but not the one in the sub dir.

I'm confused.

The python scripts work in mod_python/py because of the .htaccess file in the same directory.

AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
#PythonDebug On

Put a similar one in the directory where you want to run your scripts. When developing, remove the # in front of PythonDebug On as that will cause mod_python to print the stack-trace in case of a problem in a Python script.

I already have a .htaccess with this entries. For convenience, here is a copy&paste of the .htaccess in py/wikipy

AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On

This is from my httpd.conf

<Directory "C:/data/apache/mod_python">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

#############
 <Directory E:/apache/htdocs/>
     AddHandler python-program .py
     PythonHandler helloworld
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
 </Directory>

 <Directory "C:/data/apache/mod_python/py">
     AddHandler python-program .py
     PythonHandler helloworld
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
 </Directory>

This is what http://127.0.0.1/mod_python/py/wikipy/wikipy.py/doIt prints:

Not Found

The requested URL /mod_python/py/wikipy/wikipy.py/doIt was not found on this server.

This may now be a silly question, but you do have a doIt function in your wikipy.py script?

Incidentally, in the first posting you wrote:

So the python handler obviously calls the script in py/logbrowse.py but not the one in the sub dir.

I'm pretty certain it was the .../py/wiki/logbrowse.py script that was executed. The paths to the log-files are hardwired, so they are found even if the script itself is moved.

Well, I got it running now.
In the httpd.conf the python handler should be mod_python.publisher not helloworld.

Ok, that's good.

In the httpd.conf the python handler should be mod_python.publisher not helloworld. I think this should be changed in the default httpd.conf for the next version.

Ahem, where did you find helloworld? I'm pretty certain the default httpd.conf does not contain anything like that.

Yes, sorry my fault. I edited my previous post but you were faster

Well it finally is really a bug. When the file contains a "*py.py" in it's name and is in a sub directory. I renamed the file and it works!

I'm able to reproduce the following:
- create a sub directory "wikipy" under mod_python/py
- put the file "wikipy.py" from the link below in the and open the url
127.0.0.1/mod_python/py/wikipy/wikipy.py/doIt

==> You will get a 404 (file not found)

- now rename the file to ie "wiki.py"

The url 127.0.0.1/mod_python/py/wikipy/wiki.py/doIt will show as expected

file (same as logbrowser.py from the demos)

Hmm, that's really interesting; I wonder what's going on.

Thanks for the report.
