How to check if Python script engine is enabled

How to check if Python script engine is enabled

We can check using the default Parallels Plesk Panel domain page content (http://domain.tld/index.html) - then by the “Python” item.

The test looks successful if a page with a list of environment variables is shown.

Test can be done using a simple script like this.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

# enable debugging
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

print “Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8″
print

print “Hello World!”

It is necessary to put the content into a text file and save in the domain web-accessible folder (like $HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/domain.tld/httpdocs) on the server with .py extension (test.py for example). Then try to open the file via browser by the http://domain.tld/test.py URL.

The test looks successful if a page shows the “Hello World!” string. If an error or full script listing is visible, it means that Python engine is not configured for the domain properly.

How to check if Perl script engine is enabled and working for a domain?

How to check if Perl script engine is enabled and working for a domain?

To check this we can use a simple script like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print “content-type:text/html\n\n”;
print “<html>\n”;
print “<head />\n”;
print “<body>\n”;
print “Hello World!\n”;
print “</body>\n”;
print “</html>\n”;
#

Save the content into a text file and save in the domain web-accessible folder (like $HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/domain.tld/httpdocs) on the server with .pl extension (test.pl for example). Then try to open the file via browser by the http://domain.tld/test.pl URL. The domain name should be resolved for this to work.

The test looks successful if a page shows the “Hello World!” string.

If an error or full script listing is visible, it means that Perl script engine is not configured for the domain properly.
