CGI programming with Python using WAMP and HTML
Question
I'm trying to connect an HTML file with python
Here's my HTML code
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="C:\wamp\www\cgi-bin\nidhi.py">
<p>Your first name: <input type="text" name="firstname">
<p>Your last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">
<p>Click here to submit form: <input type="submit" value="Yeah!">
<input type="hidden" name="session" value="1f9a2">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here's the content of C:\\wamp\\www\\cgi-bin\\nidhi.py
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import cgi
def main():
print "Content-type: text/html\n"
form = cgi.FieldStorage() # parse query
if form.has_key("firstname") and form["firstname"].value != "":
print "<h1>Hello", form["firstname"].value, "</h1>"
else:
print "<h1>Error! Please enter first name.</h1>"
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
So yes I am running this using WAMP as my server.
So when I open my HTML file I can see the form but when i press the button all it does is shows me the python code.
What am I doing wrong?
Here's the httpd.conf file in C:\\wamp\\bin\\apache\\apache2.2.22\\conf

Also the top line of the python scripts needs to point to your interpreter like this.
#!C:\Python27\python.exe -u
Im not sure what the -u is for though I got the info from this page.
http://wiki.python.org/moin/CgiScripts
#!C:\Python27\python.exe -u
import cgi
print 'Content-Type: text/plain\n\n' #this line is compulsory to separate body from header in http response

The main problem I see is that you have NOT configured Python scripts to be processed by your IIS Server.
Because the Python Module is NOT enabled, Apache does NOT understand your Python code and simply outputs the fully code as it is.
Please use MOD_WSGI (not MOD_PYTHON) in your WAMP Server. You can learn more here: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/
And, this should help you to quickly set it up: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide
Refer this: Installing mod_wsgi on WAMP server running on Windows 7

Try changing this line:
<form method="POST" action="C:\wamp\www\cgi-bin\nidhi.py">
To this:
<form method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/nidhi.py">
You want the action to be a URL, which will be handled through your server, rather than an absolute path to a local file that your browser knows how to get without your server.

我还想知道你的标题行Content-type：text / html \\ n需要更改为Content-type：text / html \\ r \\ n这是做换行符的windows方法。
