A new mod_python 3.2.5 beta tarball is now available for testing. A
windows binary should be available shortly.

This release is similar to 3.2.4b but fixes a couple of minor issues -
MODPYTHON-87 (psp_parser), and MODPYTHON-40 (file upload).

Here are the rules:

In order for a file to be officially announced, it has to be tested by
developers on the dev list. Anyone subscribed to this list can (and
should feel obligated to :-) ) test it, and provide feedback *to _this_
list*! (Not the mod_python@modpython.org list, and preferably not me
personally).

The files are (temporarily) available here:

http://www.modpython.org/dist/

Please download it, then do the usual

$ ./configure --with-apxs=/wherever/it/is
$ make
$ (su)
# make install

Then (as non-root user!)

$ cd test
$ Python test.py

And see if any tests fail. If they pass, send a +1 to the list, if they
fail, send the details (the versions of OS, Python and Apache, the test
output, and suggestions, if any).

Thank you,
Jim Gallacher

I've got failures that seem to be caused by the tests themselves, but
with a bit of tweaking they pass.

FreeBSD 6.0
Apache 2.0.55 port built WITH_THREADS=1
Python 2.4.2


The error_log shows:

Googling that last message comes up with a suggesting that you specify a
"User" in the http config.

With the attached patch, the tests run httpd with a "User www"
directive, and pass.

Thanks for the information, I'll add your patch to the test suite.

Hmmmm having a look at :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mo...ommon.html#user

I'm finally not so sure we should integrate the User directive.
Wouldn't that require that the computer the test runs on has a user
named www with sufficient privileges plus that the test are started as
root ?

DOH! nevermind - just realized I missed this part of Jim's very clear
instructions:

-------------
Then (as non-root user!)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

$ cd test
$ Python test.py

However I get some other errors now:

Not sure why running under a different userid is causing this - I
cleaned out my /tmp of things owned by www.  Will keep looking at this.

I can't find the old mail about this, but Grisha suggested that this can occ
ur
in virtual hosting environments, eg, OpenVPS.

No, no virtual hosting, jails, or other obviously unusual stuff.
