Your problem is not related to the location of the section.
Apache doesn't like spaces in , so try quoting your path.
Also, the Apache docs state that "forward slashes should always be used
as the path separator in Apache, even for Windows".
So try the following in your config file:
.

Yes.
You are more likely to get timely help on the mod_python mailing list.
See http://www.modpython.org/ for subscription information. Personally I
only read c.l.p when I'm looking for cheap entertainment. Some people on
this list just crack me up. :)

PHP stores its session data as... well I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure it won't be a python pickle. ;) Mod_python creates a new session if it can't load valid session data from the dbm file, which will always be the case here as that file contains PHP formatted session data. You have 2 choices: Rewrite PHP session handling to write the data as a python pickle, or subclass mod_python BaseSession to read the PHP data format. Once that's done you'll need to figure out how to handle session locking between the 2 modules, which may not be trivial. I'd suggest joining the mod_python mailing list if you want to discuss this in detail. Jim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This sounds awry to me. It's an apache thing. Apache loadable modules have the same suffix on all platforms, so mod_python.so is correct. Jim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Apache has found the mod_python loadable module, but now *it* can't find the correct mod_python lib files. This may happen when you have several different python versions installed on your system, and mod_python is trying to use the wrong one. If this is the case, adjust the path that apache sees so that the correct python appears first in the path. > This seems more like a bug in mod_python. Not a bug - unless you consider poor documentation a bug ;). Your configuration is still not correct. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if our Windows guy reads c.l.p. on a regular basis and I'm rather clueless about Windows issues. Subscribe to the mod_python mailing list. You can always unsubscribe later. :).
