A script I wrote long ago (getWords.py) used to be executable at my localhost (http://local.example.com/getWords.py?query-string)
My python script starts like this :
#!/usr/bin/env python
# chmod 755 getWords.pyprint "Content-type: text/html\n\n"import os, sys, time, cgi, cgitb, re
import json, hashlib, gzip, urllib, urllib2
cgitb.enable()
I have enabled ExecCGI
cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/example
<VirtualHost *:80>ServerName local.example.comDocumentRoot /home/username/Dropbox/vhosts/example/<Directory /home/username/Dropbox/vhosts/example>Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGIAllowOverride AllOrder allow,denyallow from all</Directory>ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.example.logLogLevel warnCustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.example.log combined
</VirtualHost>
But still the script force downloads (FireFox) or shows the script code (Chrome).
