I have my cgi-script in the directory /var/www/cgi-bin
with the contents in hello.py and made it executable.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import cgitb
cgitb.enable() print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print '<html>'
print '<head>'
print '<title>Hello Word - First CGI Program</title>'
print '</head>'
print '<body>'
print '<h2>Hello Word! This is my first CGI program</h2>'
print '</body>'
print '</html>'
I also did sudo a2enmod cgi as suggested here Apache2.4.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 won't execute Python cgi file. The site displays python code instead
When I try to run the script by going to http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.py I am getting a 500 Internal Server error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
