I want to build an interface for browsing an Apache2 server using python scripts.
I spent the past days learning python and today getting familiar with CGI. I want to test out some stuff, like the possibility for the user to navigate to the path he wants from the base directory
/var/www/cgi-bin
by inputting the path he wants to visit, for example
/etc/httpd/conf.d
.
For that i have the change_path.py
script which looks like this:
import os
def changePath(path):
os.chdir(path)
I already got this script running to make sure everything is set up properly:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb, os
cwd = os.getcwd()
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print "<html>"
print "<head>"
print "<title>TestScript</title>"
print "</head>"
print "<body>"
print "<h2> Current working directory is: %s</h2>" % cwd
print "</body>"
