What do your server logs show the 404 error to be? Debug it like a script. For me, it's the part about use your own computer as a host(I'm working on that) that gets me, but a hosting account is already set up, as opposed to using your own local host setup, this is provided. So it's just using the html with python just like with php. I'm not an expert at this, but I do have a little experience with lamp, so python should just be a replacement of p in lamp for pythin instead of php _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
