Question

I write following script in cgi-bin while if I run this script from browser by entering URL then script gives an 500 internal server error.

#!/usr/bin/python

import MySQLdb
import cgi
print "Content-type: text/html"
print
print "<html>"
print "<head>"
print "<title>Listing</title>"
print "</head>"
print "<body>"
print "<h2>listing</h2>"

db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="user", passwd="password", db="DB_name")

cur = db.cursor()
cur.execute("select * from table")
rows = cur.fetchall()
for row in rows:
   print row[0]

print "</body>"
print "</html>"

If I remove the DB connection lines then its working fine, but if I just add import MySQLdb then I get 500 internal server error.

Out put of

import sys

for p in sys.path: 
    print p + "<br/>"
