#!/usr/local/bin/python [...] I've snipped the code, because the error message indicates it isn't being executed: your problem is more fundamental than a Python error. I take it you do have an executable /usr/local/bin/python? One thing that can trip you up is if you have carriage returns in tour script: then Apache fails to find the program from the shebang line because it takes the DR before the LF as part of the filename. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
