cgi

I've got a Python script that is executing functions asynchronously by using PEST wsgi library. However, when I try to import another module it simply results in a 500 error. The way I try to reference it is: from foo import * from foo import Foo where foo is a file .py in which I have the object that I want to reference to. Tried to monitor the calls through Chrome's Inspect Element Control but couldn't find a thing. Also tried to debug using Apache's error log, but nothing there. Any hints appreciated. Update: I've tried the following which resulted in the same 500 error: --make use of

How can I set where Perl looks for modules in Apache httpd.conf file on OSX? I've installed several modules via CPAN, which were installed successfully in /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 I can verify this via perldoc perllocal If I run perl -V on the command line, I get (among other dirs): @INC: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 When I run a perl script as CGI via Apache, however, I get errors that the modules I'm use ing can not be found. The list of dirs being included in @INC do not match my local perl configuration. [error] [client

I can easily connect to a remote MySQL server using the DBI module in my Perl scripts. However, when I try to use the same connection settings/properties from within a CGI script, the connection fails. There are no helpful errors/warnings being logged either in the apache error log, or the browser, in spite of using use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser); Strangely, the exact same script works fine when executed from the terminal. I also tried connecting the CGI script to the MySQL server on localhost, but without any success. On the other hand, phpMyAdmin works great on the

How are the Apache2 (2.4) CGI environment variables CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT and CONTEXT_PREFIX defined? From experimentation, I've determined the following: CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT appears to be the full local path to the original request when DirectoryIndex or ErrorDocument call a CGI script. CONTEXT_PREFIX appears to be the original REQUEST_URI , sans any query part, when DirectoryIndex or ErrorDocument have called a CGI script. (In these cases, REQUEST_URI is set to the URI of the CGI script, rather than the original.) However, I can't seem to find any official documentation from Apache on

This seems like it should be a really simple thing to achieve, unfortunately web development was never my strong point. I have a bunch of scripts, and I would like to launch them from a webpage and see the realtime stdout text on the page. Some of the scripts take a long time to run so the normal single response isn't good enough (I have this working already). As far as I can see, my options are stdout to a file, and periodically (every couple of seconds) send a request from the client and respond with the contents of this file. Chunked HTTP responses? I'm not sure if this is what they are
