Do you realize that the hosting service you're using (HostGator) is so mis-configured that it is exposing your source code and credentials to the entire world? When I go to that URL, I get a page which includes the name of the CGI script you are running (/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/counter.py). I can then do a GET on http://superhost.gr/~nikos/cgi-bin/counter.py, and can see your script source code, including the credentials to attach to your database: conn = MySQLdb.connect( db = 'nikos_tech', host = 'localhost', user = 'nikos_nikos', passwd = <elided>) How to properly configure a web server is way beyond the scope of this mailing list, but you really need to do some research there to safeguard your own data. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
