mod_python testing failed with "make_obcallback(): could not import mod_python.apache"

[Suhaimi Jamalludin]

Hi All,

Need your advice on mod_python.
I'm running FreeBSD5.2.1, apache 1.3.31 and
mod_python-2.7.10. I have done the configuration
seting on http.conf and restart my apache. Apache
runing fine, however during my mod_python testing I
got  this error in my httpd-error.log.

Error Message:
 make_obcallback(): could not import
mod_python.apache.
 make_obcallback(): could not call init.
 [Tue Aug 10 11:57:32 2004] [error] [client
10.1.4.118] python_handler:
make_obcallback returned no obCallBack!

Can somebody advice me please.

Appreciate your help.

regards,
suhaimi

My step-by-step for mod_python on FreeBSD5.2.1
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Installed python
 # cd /usr/ports/lang/python
 # make -DWITHOUT_THREADS install clean

2) Installed mod_python
 # cd /usr/ports/www/mod_python
 # make -DWANT_EAPI install clean

3) Modify apache configuration file
 #vi /usr/local/etc/apache/http.conf
 add below line at the end of the http.conf
 ----snip-----
 <Directory /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/modpython>
   AddHandler python-program .py
   PythonHandler mptest
   PythonDebug On
 </Directory>
 ----snap-----

4) Create mptest.py
 # vi /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/modpython/mptest.py
 add below line in mptest.py
 ----snip-----
 from mod_python import apache

 def handler(req):
         req.write("Hello World!")
         return apache.OK
 ----snap-----
5) Restart Apache
 # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache restart
6) Open Mozilla Web Browser type the mod_python test
file as below.

 http://10.1.4.8/cgi-bin/modpython/mptest.py

 Browser output:
