Running Python 3 Script on Apache 2.4 Web Server

I have Apache 2.4 installed and running on localhost. I am trying to get CGI to work through editing httpd.conf so it will be able to run my python scripts.

All I want it to do currently is be able to print "Hello World" so I know it is working.

print("hello world")

This is a copy of my httpd.conf file as of submitting this post.

Define SRVROOT "/apache24ah64"

ServerRoot "${SRVROOT}"

I have looked through the documentation and at a couple of different tutorials but I haven't been able to find what is wrong.

The python script is inside C:\Apache24\htdocs Python Version 3.7 Apache 2.4

Changes to the httpd.conf file:

1. Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

2. AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py

3. LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so
