Hi

I have installed and tested this on centos, fedora and freebsd all
give the same problem so I guess I missed some steps.

I have compiled bot apache (2.2.4) and mod_python (3.3.1) according to
the docs and no problem with this.
But when I have made everything about testing mod_python an browse to
http://server/test and there expecting to see "Hello world" I instead
get an index of contents in this directory. If I go to  http://server/test/mptest.py
it works. No errors in any log either.

What Have I missed?

This I added to httpd.conf
<Directory /opt/site/htdocs/test>
        AllowOverride All
        AddHandler mod_python .py
        PythonHandler mptest
        PythonDebug On
</Directory>


this is my mptest.py:
from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
        req.content_type = 'text/plain'
        req.write("Hello World!")
        return apache.OK
