Hi,
Thanks for the response. Sorry, I didn't respond in a timely manner.
I thought I would give your suggestion a shot and just try installing
mod_python and see what happens, so I installed mod_python 3.3.1 with
this command:
$ ./configure --with-apxs=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs
Here is the output:

So it looks like it installed fine--although I notice it picked up
python 2.4 and you said it was easier to install mod_python using the
pre-installed python 2.3.3.
Then I tried to test the installation following the test in the
mod_python manual, which says to add the following to Apache's
http.conf file:
<Directory /some/directory/htdocs/test>
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
I did that, but when I started Apache, I got this error:
---
Syntax error on line 474 of /Library/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PythonHandler', perhaps misspelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration
---
Any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks
