#36892 — Forcing Python to detect DocumentRoot

When trying to open an html template within Python script i use a relative path to say go one folder back and open index.html

f = open( '../' + page )

How to say the same thing in an absolute way by forcing Python to detect DocumentRoot by itself?

I don't think I understand your question.  But, I think your answer is
here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html

Nowhere that page says something about python detecting documentroot directory (www or public_html) that is.

What is DocumentRoot?  This is a convention, not something a language would
'know' about

Document Root for me is /home/nikos/public_html
Is where Apache store the user www files.

How to tell it my using a variable?

Can you give us more details of what you're doing.  Is there some web 
framework you're using?  Can you post some code that's not working for 
you?

Import os

Then read os.environ['HOME']

This will give you the home directory of the user.  in my case:

>>> os.environ['HOME']
'/home/jcg'
>>>

This is probably linux only, but that seems to be the environment you are
working in .

Yes my Python scripts exist in a linux web host.

os.environ['HOME'] will indeed give the home directory of the user.

to me /home/nikos/

but i want a variable to point to

/home/nikos/public_html whice is called DocumentRoot.

is there avariable for that? i can't seem to find any...

DocumentRoot = os.environ['HOME'] + 'public_html'

Yes, iam using this and it works.
One last thing:

my python script file is located at /home/nikos/public_html/addon_domain/cgi-bin/

How python is able to run the following statement?

f = open( '/home/nikos/public_html/' + page )

which is clearly levels up of addon domain's DocumentRoot?

My website experience with python has been using mod wsgi (and django), not
cgi.  I can't help you with how to configure cgi, but googling python cgi
might help

Time to take a step backward and figure out what you're really trying
to accomplish. I think, after gazing idly into my crystal ball for a
while, that you actually want to chroot your script - instead of
seeing "/home/nikos/public_html/" it would see just "/", and then it
can't access anything outside of that.

This is addon domain's counter.py snippet tried to load an image mail.png and failed because it cant see past its document root

========================================
    # render html template and print it
    data = f.read()
    counter = '''<center>
                 <a href="mailto:support@superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>
                 
                 <table border=2 cellpadding=2 bgcolor=black>
                 <td><font color=lime> Αριθμός Επισκεπτών </td>
                 <td><font color=cyan> %d </td>''' % hits[0]
========================================

While from within the same counter.py file

# open html template file
    f = open( '/home/nikos/public_html/test.txt' )

opens OK the page file which is also past addons domain's document root

Can you help counter.py to load the image? Why does it fail to load it? Python can have access to ANY filesystempath , no matter from what folder counter.py script runs from. Correct?

No I can't because counter.py doesn't "load the image."  The browser
does.  If the image fails to load it is because the apache web server
cannot find it.  In other words your image src url is bad.  It has
nothing to do with python.  Python is only spitting out html code.
That's it.  Image loading is done by apache on behalf of a request from
the web browser.  Since the url is a direct url to a file, there is no
CGI that runs.

I understand that you have a difficulty understanding the relationship
between the browser, the web server, and the cgi script.  The process
goes like this:

- browser requests the url, which happens to be the CGI script, counter.py.
- web server runs counter.py returns html code to the browser.
- browser parses html code, renders it, and requests any images that the
html code references.
- Web server tries to locate the image based on its own rules and
config, and serves it if possible, otherwise, returns error 404.

So you simply have the image url wrong.  apache is not mapping /data to
where you think it is.  You have to either fix this in apache's configs,
or determine where the image really is in apache's url space, and change
the cgi to output the correct html.  Your problem isn't a python one at
all; it's an apache problem.

This is addon domain's counter.py snippet tried to load an image mail.png and failed because it cant see past its document root

========================================
    # render html template and print it
    data = f.read()
    counter = '''<center>
                 <a href="mailto:support@superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>
                 
                 <table border=2 cellpadding=2 bgcolor=black>
                 <td><font color=lime> Αριθμός Επισκεπτών </td>
                 <td><font color=cyan> %d </td>''' % hits[0]
========================================

While from within the same counter.py file

# open html template file
    f = open( '/home/nikos/public_html/test.txt' )

opens OK the page file which is also past addons domain's document root

Can you help counter.py to load the image? Why does it fail to load it? Python can have access to ANY filesystempath , no matter from what folder counter.py script runs from. Correct?

That piece of code is not opening the image file. It just issues the URL
for the image file. The file will then be loaded by the browser in a new
request. The image should be at
/home/nikos/public_html/data/images/mail.png

P.S. I don't understand what you mean by "addon domain".

Yes the image is this and is located at that folder.

/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/counter.py

that has embedded this line:

<a href="mailto:support@superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>

can open the file normally as seen if you visit http://superhost.gr

While

/home/nikos/public_html/cafebar-idea.gr/cgi-bin/counter.py

that has also embedded this line:

<a href="mailto:support@superhost.gr"> <img src="/data/images/mail.png"> </a>

cannnot open the file normally.

And the questions iw WHY since python script can open ANY filesystempath
file the user has access too.

As Piet has said,Python is NOT opening the file mail.png.  When the html 
is sent to the browser, and the browser requests that image file, it's 
the server itself who figures out where the actual file is.  Python 
isn't involved at all.
