Hello everyone,

I think this may be another go-around for this, but I haven't been
able to find an answer yet.

I've got a simple Quixote 2 app (largely cribbed from the demo app,
I'm just trying to get the setup working) that runs fine under
simple_server.py, but doesn't run under mod_scgi.

The error I'm getting from Quixote is this:


> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/publish.py", line
> 273, in proce
> ss_request
>     output = self.try_publish(request)
>   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/publish.py", line
> 248, in try_p
> ublish
>     assert path[:1] == '/'
> AssertionError
>

That line in try_publish is performing an assert on path, which has
been set to the value of the environment variable PATH_INFO.

The environment dumped by quixote is here:


> Environment:

Since PATH_INFO is missing, I'm assuming this is the problem. Can
anyone point to a solution?

I'm running Debian 3 (Testing), with Python 2.3.5, Apache 2.0.54,
mod_scgi 1.2 and Quixote 2.0. Quixote was built from source by me
(setup.py install), but everything else is straight out of  Debian...

Thanks,

Matt
