[albatross-users] Transferring a site

[Greg Hamilton]

Are you able to run a simple 'Hello World' cgi script ?

This is all stuff you've almost certainly already checked and it might  
not be relevant anyway as I don't know anything about configuring  
Apache with mod_python :

For a regular CGI config you need to tell Apache it can execute scripts  
in your <Directory> either by using the ScriptAlias directive

or something like this  -

<Directory "/u01/www/sites/norwood/Site">
    Options All MultiViews ExecCGI
    ....
</Directory>

The AddHandler directive is handy for letting Apache know which file  
types to execute as cgi-

eg.

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py .pl

I would definitely try to run the Albatross app without mod_python to  
eliminate mod_python as a possible cause of the problem.

Good luck

Greg Hamilton
