Both were already done.

Both already done.

This told me that the command passenv was not recognised as per  
previous mail message. Hence
I deleted the two lines:

     passenv PYTHONPATH
     setenv PYTHONBUFFERED 1

(See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2002-December/ 
006954.html )

Unfortunately, I get the same response: the file cgitest.py is copied  
to the browser window rather than being executed.

The error log gave:
Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
[Tue May  1 10:55:07 2007] [notice] Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) configured  
-- resuming normal operations
[Tue May  1 10:55:07 2007] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)

(Nothing in the access log)

Brian.
