I'm trying to execute some python scripts through lighttpd but when I try to run it, I only get a blank file which I'm asked to download.
lighttpd.conf
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_alias",
"mod_accesslog",
"mod_compress",
"mod_rewrite"
)
server.port = 8080
server.bind = "127.0.0.1"
server.document-root = "/var/www"
server.upload-dirs = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username = "www-data"
server.groupname = "www-data"
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
"index.htm", "default.htm",
" index.lighttpd.html" )
url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" )
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi", ".py" )
dir-listing.encoding = "utf-8"
server.dir-listing = "enable"
compress.cache-dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
compress.filetype = ( "application/x-javascript", "text/css", "text/html", "text/plain" )
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/include-conf-enabled.pl"
/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10.cgi.conf
server.modules += ( "mod_cgi" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
}
## Warning this represents a security risk, as it allow to execute any file
## with a .pl/.py even outside of /usr/lib/cgi-bin.
#
cgi.assign = (
# ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl",
".py" => "/usr/bin/python"
)
/var/www/cgi-bin/hellopy.py
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "<TITLE>CGI script output</TITLE>"
print "<H1>This is my first CGI script</H1>"
print "Hello, world!"
I really don't understand what's happening.
