I am trying to host a TuboGears app using Apache and mod_python on a 
machine running Windows XP SP2 Professional.

Version info: apache_2.2.3-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi, python-2.4.4.msi, 
mod_python-3.2.10.win32-py2.4-apache2.2.exe, mpcp-1.5.tar.gz, 
turbogears-1.0b2-py2.4

=========================================================
1. Installed Apache.

2. Installed python, turbogears, mod_python.
   Added     LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
   to conf\httpd.conf. The mod_python example is working.

3. In order to host a simple TG application, I am using the bookmarker 
application which is in the TurboGears book (v1 from Chap 4).
   That works when I run it locally on my machine (also a WinXP SP2 box).
   Copied the application to "C:\Program Files\Apache Software 
Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs"

4. Made the following changes to conf\httpd.conf
   Changed AllowOverride for .htaccess to:   AllowOverride All

5. Renamed start file to bookmarker_start.py. Created a file called 
.htaccess in bookmarker directory which has the following

SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler mpcp
PythonDebug On
PythonOption cherrysetup bookmarker_start::mp_setup

6. Copied mpcp.py to the bookmarker directory (tried with installing it 
using  easy_install -Z mpcp, didn't help).

7. Changed bookmarker_start.py

#turbogears.start_server(Root())    <----------- commented this line and 
added the lines below.

def mp_setup():
    pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    cherrypy.server.start()
=========================================================

I have restarted the Apache daemon multiple times. When I try to connect 
to http://machine/bookmarker, I get:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mpcp"

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(restart_with_reloader())

SystemExit: 1

Any idea what the problem is? Thanks for your help.
