Subject: [Mapit] Mapit! on Debian?
Message-ID: <1116955188.7012.39.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Hello. Mapit! users.  Is anyone out there using Mapit on a Debian
system?  I have tried to follow the instructions, but I get this
diagnostic from the server:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler modmapit"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 287, in HandlerDispatch
    log=debug)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 454, in import_module
    f, p, d = imp.find_module(parts[i], path)

ImportError: No module named modmapit


I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I am new to python and mod_python,
so please take nothing for granted.  I will be glad to provide more
details to anyone willing to lend a hand.  Thanks.

Neil

Python does not find the module. It must be in a directory listed
in the environment variable PYTHON_PATH or in the systems ones.
I do not recommend to place it somewhere on the systems area manually.
Better place it somewhere else and set the PYTHONPATH accordingly.

It's also possible to set the path from apache's config files.  See e.g.
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/dir-other-pp.html
