Well, I have checked everything I can but I'm getting '500 Internal Server Error'. The log files aren't helpful: [Thu Sep 13 03:43:00 2007] [error] [client 24.235.184.39] Premature end of script headers: /home/softouch/public_html/cgi-bin/scratch/hello.py I can't even get it to run on my home PC running Apache + Win2K. Same error. My script: #!/usr/bin/python import cgitb; cgitb.enable(display=0, logdir=".") import sys sys.stderr = sys.stdout print "Content-Type: text/html" print print """ <html> <body> <div align="center"><font style="font-family:verdana; size:18px">Hello from Python</font></div> <br> Goodbye. </body> </html> """ -- Amer Neely w: www.webmechanic.softouch.on.ca/ Perl | MySQL programming for all data entry forms.
