@CleoQc Does it’s shebang point at the same Python executable? Does it print any output? If output is printed, does it print HTTP headers first?
I got the 500 error for CGI scripts so often that this particular list is like reciting scripture for me, so I apologize if you already covered them.
Edit: removed permissions because you already checked

@CleoQc if it runs CLI but not CGI another possibility is different resource (process / file / pipe) access rules for Web user / group vs being run interactively.
Do the Apache error logs show anything interesting?

@CleoQc Huzzah! You smart!

@CleoQc I’ve had that exact scenario bite me too. Print debugging to find the mystery bug would then lead me to finding print debugging from another incident that I forgot to clean up.

@CleoQc fixing it counts towards smart. or causing an interesting explosion but that’s not the helpful kind of smart

@VE2UWY @CleoQc both are valid and likely to bite one at an unexpected moment. Especially with utility scripts, which blur the line between admin and dev to the point we got a whole “devops” professional niche out of it.

@VE2UWY first time I came across Terraform and “Infrastructure as Code” my initial reaction was “what a terrible idea. Have you not seen code?”
Then I realized it was just marketer speak for “fancy complicated config” and I relaxed a bit. But still.

Well I can’t boot Windows without finding my recovery stick, but now I can get at the files from Linux. Cascading errors helping to solve my operating system choice dilemma.

@halcy I love (the idea of) AR and (hate slightly less than other vendors) Apple, but this is still far too intrusive for my tastes. So I’m leaning on their side of the fence but this isn’t good enough for me.

@hazelweakly highlight the dishes the I forgot to pick up please

@tk oh I have no interest in VR as such. I have enough dissociation as it is. But an AR overlay still interests me.

That awkward feeling when you realize commercials are playing the good new music from ten or fifteen years ago for the new middle-aged folks.

Okay, I think I got plenv, rbenv, and pyenv working with Nushell. It’s all basically the same code. Wonder how much of that I can refactor to a common function.
