Hello,

You might have used python as cgi and might be knowing how to debug errors on browsers, but many of them still dont use this features.

Have a look at
http://deepak.frih.net/cgi-bin/test_python.cgi

In above script, I called a function which is not defined into the script, as a result, it should raise NAME ERROR.

You could also debug you python files by importing cgitb.

Code:
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()


Happy debugging!

ok, well i tried this, and not unexpectedly i have done something wrong Smile because it didn't quite work for me.. i tried it by aking a quite simple mistake in my cgi script

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

print "Content-type: text/html\n"
print "<TITLE>frid.frih.net</TITLE>"
print "<H1>frid.frih.net<H1>"
print "<P>Hello, World!</P>


missing the last quote, but instead of debugging info i got an all too familiar 500 'Internal Server Error' message and an additional 404 not found error cos i have no error documnet thing in my .htaccess Smile

what did i do wrong!!

Because your HTTP header is wrong

use this one :
Code:
print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n'
