<P>
<OL>
<LI>Make some directory that would be visible on your web site, for
example, htdocs/test.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Add the following Apache directives, which can appear in either the
main server configuration file, or <span class="file">.htaccess</span>. If you are going
to be using the <span class="file">.htaccess</span> file, you will not need the
<code><Directory></code> tag below, and you will need to make sure the
<code>AllowOverride</code> directive applicable to this directory has at least
<code>FileInfo</code> specified. (The default is <code>None</code>, which will not work.)
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
<Directory /some/directory/htdocs/test>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
</pre></dl>
<P>
(Substitute <span class="file">/some/directory</span> above for something applicable to
your system, usually your Apache ServerRoot)
<P>
</LI>
<LI>At this time, if you made changes to the main configuration file, you
will need to restart Apache in order for the changes to take effect.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Edit <span class="file">mptest.py</span> file in the <span class="file">htdocs/test</span> directory so
that is has the following lines (be careful when cutting and pasting
from your browser, you may end up with incorrect indentation and a
syntax error):
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.send_http_header()
req.write("Hello World!")
return apache.OK
</pre></dl>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Point your browser to the URL referring to the <span class="file">mptest.py</span>; you
should see <code>"Hello World!"</code>. If you didn't - refer to the
troubleshooting section next.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>If everything worked well, move on to Chapter <A href="tutorial.html#tutorial">3</A>,
<em class='citetitle'><a
href='tutorial.html'
title='Tutorial'
>Tutorial</a></em>.
