Setup xampp for mod_python

1. install flex (parser): sudo apt-get install flex

2. install xampp developer package

3. sudo  ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/lampp/bin/apxs
if you get  "apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536..."
=> download the package: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk

4. After "sudo make", "sudo make install"
in http.conf, add following lines:

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

<Directory /some/directory/htdocs/test>
    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler mptest
    PythonDebug On
</Directory>

5. Write test python script "mptest.py":

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'text/plain'
    req.write("Hello World!")
    return apache.OK

Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html Therefore, I added the following lines into /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf [mysql] character-set-server=utf8 [client] character-set-server=utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' I restarted the server and mysql run successfully with relevant variables being set correctly. In the "Variables" tab under phpMyAdmin interface (ex. http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) character set c...
