I'm doing Python CGI scripting and running my code on Xitami webserver. While the code works fine on Windows, on a Linux machine, the browser displays source instead of the output.

The code I'm using is just a sample. I'm getting the error using this itself.

CODE

#!/data01/space/project/python/bin/python

import cgi

print "Content-Type: text/html"     # HTML is following
print                               # blank line, end of headers

print "<TITLE>CGI script output</TITLE>"
print "<H1>This is my first CGI script</H1>"
print "Hello, world!"


Please help!!

On the Linux machine, is the file set to executable permission?

Thanks no2pencil.... it's working now.
By the way, can you suggest where I might find good documentation on Python CGI?

Was the executable permissions the issue?

Sorry, I don't know Python. I know that there are some tutorials & snippets on this site, but I have not viewed them, so I don't know if they are CGI like you are looking for.

Yes, it wasn't running because the files didn't have executable permissions.
Thanks.
