Raspberry Pi Asked by Seph Reed on January 4, 2021
I’ve installed lighttpd and gotten it to serve /var/www/index.html just fine, but I haven’t gotten it to run a Python script yet.
I enabled CGI and set it’s match case and directory as instructed in this SO answer. In short, I added mod_cgi to server.modules() and gave it a regex rule
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
cgi.assign = ( ".py" => "/usr/bin/python" )
}
For my test file /var/www/cgi-bin/test.py:
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print ""
print "<body>"
print "TEST"
print "</body>"
print "</html>"
When I enter the url raspberrypi.local or my IP, I get the file /var/www/index.html as expected. When I request the url raspberrypi.local/cgi-bin/test.py or raspberrypi.local/test.py I get a 404 error.
How can I solve this problem?
EDIT: I’ve also found this tutorial which is very good, and says pretty much the same thing. I’m still getting the 404 error.
Please follow this steps:
First enable cgi by
sudo lighttpd-enable-mod cgi
This creates a new configuration file for Lighttpd:
/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-cgi.conf
Edit the configuration file nano /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-cgi.conf, to look similar to this
server.modules += ( "mod_cgi" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/var/www/cgi-bin" )
cgi.assign = (
".py" => "/usr/bin/python",
)
}
Make sure python 2 is installed by executing:
/usr/bin/python --version
Now, restart
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload
Good luck!
