Python CGI on Site5

How to get Python CGI running on a Site5 hosting account:

  • Example code, stored in a file in the ~/www/cgi-bin directory: 
       1  #!/usr/bin/python
   2  # CGI test
   3  #
   4  import cgi
   5  import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
   6  
   7  strUser = 'Peter'
   8  
   9  #
  10  # Template of html output
  11  #
  12  strHtml = """Content-Type: text/html\n
  13  
  14  <html>
  15  <head>
  16      <title>
  17          This is so cool
  18      </title>
  19  </head>
  20  <body>
  21  <h1>
  22      Careful with that axe Eugene.
  23  </h1>
  24  Hello %s
  25  </body>
  26  </html>
  27  """ % strUser
  • chmod the file 700 
    chmod 700 FileName

The file name does not need the .py extension as it is running as a straight executable.
