    How to run Python on X10Hosting

    X10Hosting is one of the few free hosting providers allowing Python. Here you will learn how to run python scripts on your website:

    1: Make sure your python script has the following as the very first line:
    Code:
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    2. Upload the file (ftp), and make sure it is set as executable: (varies depending on software)


    3. Make sure the .htaccess file is set up correctly to allow python to run:
    If you placed the script in the cgi-bin directory the script will run directly, otherwise you need to add the following line to the .htaccess file for the directory:
    Code:
    AddHandler cgi-script .py
    4. Enjoy, the script should run.

    Note: you should test python scripts locally, and only upload them once they are finished, since debugging on the server isn't easy.


    PLEASE NOTE: Python and Perl are not currently (July 2, 2011) enabled on the Free Hosting Servers. You have to have pay to upgrade to at least the Illuminated package. Comparison of Plans.

    Re: How to run Python on X10Hosting

    For python scripts that are outputting content you will also need to add:
    Code:
    print "Content-type: text/plain\n"
    as the second line, otherwise the script won't send you anything, and you get an error 404.

    (Sorry for second post, but it isn't possible to edit the first one.)

    Just a note: most FTP clients aren't using that set-up as shown in the picture, and 755 should be used instead

    Re: How to run Python on X10Hosting

    I uploaded a file, script1.py, containing:

    Code:
    #!/usr/bin/env python

print "Content-type: text/plain\n"
print """\
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
</body>
</html>
"""
    to my public_html directory. I've added the line
    "AddHandler cgi-script .py"
    to .htaccess and set the permissions for the file to 755.

    But when I try to run it it goes like this: http://olli.x10hosting.com/script1.py
    "500 Internal Server Error"

    Anyone who knows what's wrong?

    1. Do not hijack old threads. Start a new one yourself.
    2. The way I do it is:

    Code:
    #!/usr/bin/env python

print("Content-type: text/html")
print("")

print("<html>")
print("<body>")

print( "Hi there")

print("</body>")
print("</html>")
