I want to run a Python CGI script on my web server (Apache 2.2). When I try to run the test.py
file I get the following error:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /test.py
on this server.</p>
</body></html>
In the error log:
[client 127.0.0.1] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/test.py
So what could be the problem?
The error log is telling you that your Web server isn't configured to allow running CGI scripts from that directory.
See How do I enable CGI execution in directories other than the ScriptAlias? in the Apache FAQ.
Add
Options ExecCGI
to a.htaccess
file in the folder where the python file is located.Besides that, don't use CGI but WSGI to execute python apps...
Try mod_python.it's an apache module which gets embedded in apache itself and allow users to run python scripts on
