2.5 Troubleshooting
</H1>
<P>
There are a few things you can try to identify the problem:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Carefully study the error output, if any.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Check the server error log file, it may contain useful clues.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Try running Apache from the command line in single process mode:
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
./httpd -X
</pre></div>
This prevents it from backgrounding itself and may provide some useful
information.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Beginning with mod_python 3.2.0, you can use the mod_python.testhandler
to diagnose your configuration. Add this to your <span class="file">httpd.conf</span> file :
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
<Location /mpinfo>
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler mod_python.testhandler
</Location>
</pre></div>
<P>
Now point your browser to the <span class="file">/mpinfo</span> URL
(e.g. <span class="file">http://localhost/mpinfo</span>) and note down the information given.
This will help you reporting your problem to the mod_python list.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Ask on the mod_python list. Make sure to provide specifics such as:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Mod_python version.
</LI>
<LI>Your operating system type, name and version.
</LI>
<LI>Your Python version, and any unusual compilation options.
</LI>
<LI>Your Apache version.
</LI>
<LI>Relevant parts of the Apache config, .htaccess.
</LI>
<LI>Relevant parts of the Python code.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
