Can I use two handlers for the same file extension?

[HughJass]

Hello,

I am new to Apache, and I am trying to use it to execute a python script for every page that hits my server (with the right extension).

I want to use a custom python script, and the built in cgi capabilities of Apache 1.3.27. Do I need two handlers?

Here is what I have now (or a close approximation):

AddHandler my-script .py
Action my-script /path/to/my/script/myscript.py

If I want cgi.py to execute, do I need another handler?
Say: AddHandler cgi-script .py

It seems when I do use cgi-script in a handler, I start
getting 'permission denied' errors, even though
ExecCGI is set for the directory.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
HJ

I would suggest that I would have left the default in the apache config:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi ..... and uncommented it ...... then I would have called my python script myscript.cgi (let the script/server sort out how it is called), and let the client call it with

http://somehost/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi

Ok I've not played with puython but thats how its done with other scripting using the cgi method


Good Luck

L,

Thanks for the info. I really do need to keep a different extension though. But., I don't think the cgi module is being executed under my current configuration.
