Making Abyss Web Server Support Python.

Deledar

Here is what you need before we get started,
ActivePython: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePython/Source
Abyss Web Server: http://www.aprelium.com
Install it and when your done go to your
Abyss Web Server's console. When
there click on Server Configuration
and click on Advanced..... When there first click on CGI Parameters
Make sure you have Yes selected
for CGI Processing Enabled.
Under CGI Interpreters press Add...
Ok here's the tricky part, if you installed
ActivePython in C:\Program Files\Python than put C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe
in Interpreter and put py for
Associated Extensions than press Ok. You do
not need to press restart yet, I'll tell you when to.We are
almost done.
Press Add... under CGI Paths
Put "/" without quotations in CGI Path. Than press OK.
Don't press Restart yet. Press OK again and then go to Server Parameters. Press Add... under Index Files.
Than put "index.py" without the quotes in Index File and press
OK. Now you may press restart and your all done!
I would like to thank Aprelium and vbgunz for helping me with the
extension for python.
Sorry about it, vbgunz, you may remove your last post, this has been fixed.

You cannot use \ in Abyss!
Only allows /
Thoght I would correct that for ya since it will cause errors! 🙂

Not sure, I simply copied and pasted because its indeed just a little more legible and easier on the eyes... I needed Python once but never installed it because I didn't know how... If I ever do need it this is the first guide I will visit. If Deledar tweaks his guide I will remove my copy...
Thanks Sakura 🙂

hey vbgunz, Were do you put .py scripts at, you never added that in your tutorial , I have every single program language installed if you tell me
PERL , PHP , CGI , ASP , and now python , I hope 😃

os17fan

Were is python installed I don't see the directory in program files , or see the python.exe I did a full system search and did not see it , does windows XP come with python because I sal a program that said python , I installed activepython 2.2.2 build

os17fan

Never min I found it , its a hidden document , I think 😃

s1asher

Python was installed to C:\Python22 by default for me (on Win XP)

os17fan

Yeah thats were I found it , but why won't these dang .py scripts work for me , i followed the tutorial :?:

vbgunz

Server Configuration > Advanced > CGI Parameters
under CGI Interpreters enter the path to python and py as the associated extensions. Good luck 🙂

VBGUNZ , I set it up right , but when I run .py scripts it shows internal 500 error :?:

vbgunz

Not sure where the errors are taking place. Not sure if its your copy of Python OR the script you're using. Deledar by the way wrote the guide and I simply copied and pasted it back for legibility... I asked Deledar about two weeks before I made the paste if he/she could turn it into text but I got no response and guess Deledar is no longer active on the boards... os17fan, if you manage to fix your problem be sure to tell us how you fixed it as some of us seek these boards for answers 😉
Good luck 🙂

os17fan

Ok I will , but were do I store python scripts :?:

vbgunz

I guess you're best installing the scripts where the installation tells you too. Also, remember Abyss provides the ability to create aliases and sometimes you can use that to your advantage. Good luck 🙂

Deledar

Alright Vb you can remove your post.

vbgunz

Now you remove yours 🙂 Thanks for the guide 🙂

I had this same problem and here is the likely cause: you forgot to print an empty line after your Content-type, like this:
import sys
sys.stderr = sys.stdout
print "Content-type: text/plain\n"
print "OK!"

Im done with python , I gave up a few months ago , im into PHP programming. Thanks for the help any way 😃
