mod_python is one of the easiest ways to use your Python Scripts as web pages. To install mod_python on your Centos 6 server, simply follow the steps below. We also recommend using our LAMP installer, this method can easily be implemented with our installer.

To install mod_python, we need the EPEL repositories:

rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
yum install yum-priorities

Now edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/eped.repo file and add priority=10 to the [epel]section. After that follow the steps below and you’ll have mod_python installed and active.

yum install mod_python
service httpd restart

Now you should configure your httpd.conf files so that apache nows where and when to interpret your Python scripts. If you have installed you system with our LAMP installer, then go to /etc/httpd/conf.d and edit you websites .conffile (starting with a z_)

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/z_castmator.com

Make sure you add the following lines in the <Directory …> </Directory> statements.

AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On

Don’t forget that PythonDebug is for debug mode. When you’re done developing it may be a good idea to turn it off.

Also don’t forget to add your DirectoryIndex handlers so that Apache knows you can also have Python Index files. You can add this right after the </Directory> statement.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.py

Since we’ve altered with the configuration files of Apache, we should restart it again, then you are ready to go.

service httpd restart
