After restarting a lighttpd
server recently I haven't been able to get it up and running again. I am running a python built API service on it, and am relying on the web.py
module to run the application.
I am having difficulty getting the MySQLdb
Python module to import. That specific import causes everything to error out and produce a 500 error
when I try and hit the API.
Initially, I thought that it was just a matter of permissions since I was able to import the module when running python from the command line. When I saw that running MySQLdb
from the command line worked, I went on and changed the permissions of the Python code and the Python egg for the module to 755. This hasn't fixed the problem, however. I am not exactly certain what will be most helpful to post here, so I will include some configuration settings and other general facts about the server.
To clarify, I am able to get a Hello, World!
message to print with my lighttpd
setup, and have also confirmed that the lighttpd
server is using the correct Python version (i.e 1.7.3).
Location of MySQLDb Python Module code:
/home/pythoninstall/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1
Location of Python 3rd Party Modules/eggs:
/opt/python2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Lighttpd FastCGI Setup for Python:
server.modules = ("mod_fastcgi","mod_accesslog","mod_rewrite", "mod_access", "mod_redirect", "mod_proxy")
server.document-root = "/home/OverLord/"
fastcgi.server = ( "/code.py" =>
(( "bin-environment" => (
"REAL_SCRIPT_NAME" => ""
),
"socket" => "/tmp/fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/opt/python2.7/bin/python /home/OverLord/code.py",
"check-local" => "disable",
"max-procs" => 1
))
)
Any ideas would be great. I have spent too much time losing my mind over this. Thanks!
