AH01215: (8) Exec format error: exec of '/var/www/python/hello.py' failed: /var/www/python/hello.py
<p>I am trying to run python as CGI in apache server. Python version is 2.7.12.
Here is my apache conf file </p>

<pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
   &lt;Directory /var/www/python&gt;
   Options +ExecCGI
   AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   &lt;/Directory&gt;
   DocumentRoot /var/www/python
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My python script /var/www/python/hello.py looks like this</p>

<pre><code>print('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n')
print("Hello, World!")
</code></pre>

<p>When I access the url I get the Internal Server Error, I got the details from error.log file and it says , </p>
