Greetings list I am exploring Quixote for use in a project and have been able to install and work with it on a Win32 / Apache / mod_python platform, but not on either of two FreeBSD hosts (one mine, one managed by a third, more experienced, party). On both FreeBSD machines I have been able to successfully execute the demo scripts as plain CGI and just now using FastCGI as well. However mod_python complains on the first load of the demo app that it can't find floor in struct (Undefined symbol "floor" ); on reload at the browser side, this disappears and it then complains that it can't find Publisher. I've used both, and plain old RewriteRule approaches, all known to work on my Win32 dev machine, yet all fail on FreeBSD / mod_python. Initially I steered away from FastCGI after reading that someone one the Quixote team was planning on developing a simpler adapter. After a couple of demoralizing nights reinstalling my entire dev environment and trying everything I can think of (my unix experience is limited and its entirely possible I've overlooked something), I'm giving up on mod_python and getting on with developing the application. Sorry for the long pointless intro, I fired up this message and started composing it before I gave FastCGI a try. Since I have now at least a fall back plan for a speedy CGI environment, I'm going to just get to work on application rather than system stuff. PS If anyone needs a "mod_scgi" (noted discussion by the team on this subject recently) test guinea pig, I have time and a few different environments on which to do testing. I like very much the Quixote mantra, 'no magic', especially after the past few days wrestling with what I am sure entails deep black magic to overcome. I'm only a taupe magic kinda guy.
