Hello i’m trying to configure apache2 server for python, i used this command to install apache2:
sudo apt-get install apache2
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/mod_python.load mod_python.load
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
sudo gedit default
edited the default file to:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On
# Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
# default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
later i used this command:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
i got an error:
* Starting web server apache2 apache2: Syntax error on line 204 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod_python.load: LoadModule takes two arguments, a module name and the name of a shared object file to load it from
when i tried to see what’s the link that’s present in mod_python.load using cat command i got LoadModule python_module / usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_python.so
please help me out.

It looks like there is a space between the leading / and the rest of the path to the module. Is there? If so, remove the space and try again…
