[Tutor] Python, CGI and CSS

[Alex Krycek]

Thank you all for your help. I've finally figured it out. I took people's
suggestions and typed in the path for the CSS file into my browser. Well, I
received an internal service error. When I checked the error log, I had
received the following:

[Thu Apr 10 20:38:47 2008] [error] [client ::1] (8)Exec format error: exec
of '/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/style1.css' failed

If I understand this correctly, Apache was apparently trying to execute my
CSS file. So I moved the CSS file into my /~username/Sites folder (I'm on a
Mac), changed the href link in my Python script, and finally my CSS rules
were applied to the selected XHTML. I read somewhere that it's not a good
idea to have anything other than scripts in one's cgi-bin anyways. Thanks
again!
