How to run python script with xampp in ubuntu

Question

I'm using xampp installed on Ubuntu.

What I did: [edited the following line in httpd.conf] AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .asp .py

My python script present in htdocs is:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import cgitb

print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8\n")
print ("Hello Python Web Browser!! This is cool!!")

Output result is: End of script output before headers: sample.py

It is most likely to be a permission error. Fix it by giving execute permissions to script. Can you post the apache error.log? — MohitC

Make sure python at /usr/bin/python3 exists and is executable by others — MohitC

Looking at error log from comments, the file does not have correct permissions to execute. Simply do

$ sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/portScanner

WARNING: It is really a bad idea to change permissions to 777 on a webserver, alternatively you could try changing ownership of this directory to the apache user which is usually www-data in ubuntu

$ sudo chwon -R www-data /opt/lampp/htdocs/portScanner
