cgi scripts with python

Question

I tries to run a cgi-script using this as server in python3:

from http.server import HTTPServer, CGIHTTPRequestHandler

port = 8080

httpd = HTTPServer(('', port), CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
print("Starting simple_httpd on port: " + str(httpd.server_port))
httpd.serve_forever()

but I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/http/server.py", line 1110, in run_cgi
    os.execve(scriptfile, args, env)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
localhost - - [21/Nov/2012 10:28:26] CGI script exit status 0x7f00

Please Help.

Notice the error: No such file or directory. Check whether the file is there or not. — Chankey Pathak

Can you let us know what's there in line 1110. Paste the content of that line here. — Chankey Pathak

With the default settings if you are accessing hello.py then the file must be located as cgi-bin/hello.py . cgi-bin is a directory parallel to your server — Himanshu

This is what is in line 1110:os.execve(scriptfile, args, env) — user1841445

hope these help: 1. check whether the script you are going to execute is executable? if it is not -rwx, it can not be execute 2. check the the top line of the script, i.e., #! ..... if this line does not correctly point to the folder of your python, it still can not be execute

The path to the python binary was the problem in my case - really irritating that the error message states that the python file isn't there instead!
