web.py cgi in web hosting

[frann...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

Is there anyone who can running web.py as cgi in web hosting provider?

I tried with web.py homepage example (hello world)

python version and .cgi, permission are no problem. I checked.

But I still meet 'Internal Server Error' or blank page.
(blank page is shown when i add

print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"

so cgi is no problem)

After code traceing I found 'flup.server.fcgi' so I added flup but
still same error.
I suppose ThreadedServer.run is problem for cgi hosting.

Is there any solution?

I think running in general web hosting is most important factor of web
framework/api.

Can you disable this line from your app code:
web.internalerror = web.debugerror

and see if you still get an error? This requires Cheetah, and in some
scenario, my cgi app didn't work initially 'cos of this.

becuase test app code is

urls = (
'/(.*)', 'hello'
)

class hello:
def GET(self, name):
i = web.input(times=1)
if not name: name = 'world'
for c in xrange(int(i.times)): print 'Hello,', name+'!'

if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls)
-----------------------------------------------
same as web.py homepage.

no web.internalerror or web.debugerror

thanks.

I'm not sure, but you might try adding this to the top of the file:
#!/usr/bin/env python

Is WSGI(and ThreadedServer) is rely on 'long running process' ?
(most web hosting provider don't permit it)

Yup, I added it at my first try : )

I'm running my app as cgi with web.py 0.13 : )

Glad to hear it and sorry for your problems. It looks like there was a
bug running as CGI under certain operating systems (like Mac OS X).

I think problem is flup and version of python.

Even web.py core file requires python 2.2 or later, flup requires
later. (or not)

my code is running after I added generator enable code (from __future__
import generators) to flup's fcgi.py code.
