Thanks Graham!
The absolute path was the issue. Can't believe I couldnt find that
anywhere.
As for the Alias, well i was just testing to make sure that wasnt an
issue.And its in the httpd.conf , for perl-cgi you need that so since
i was having issues i decided to try and see if it was causing my
issues. (Which it wasnt). As the apaches conf says
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server
scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications
and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent
to the
# client. The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
# directives as to Alias.
So i was thinking maybe i need to set an alias so that apache executes
the python scripts.
The only thing i have noted now is that that when i go to the admin
url the css doesnt seem to follow but probably its just a sethandler
issue.
Anyway Graham I really appreciate your input. At least now i know my
setup is working and I ca get on with actually developing the app
better as well as trying to master the django framework
