'can't open file' error - what could be causes of this?

[Trisha]

Not sure which forum to ask this in. I'm trying to set up the google site maps thing and when I try to run the python script:

python sitemap_gen.py --config=config.xml --testing

and I get a message that says:

can't open file 'sitemap_gen.py'

I tried changing permissions for the file but that didn't help. That's the only thing I could think of for why a file may not be able to be opened.

I don't think it is a problem with the script, so I didn't see a reason to ask in the Google forum. It seems to be related to something on the side of the server though. I emailed my host, but haven't heard back, and I don't know when I will.

Any ideas at all?

Make sure the script is located in a directory where script execution is allowed, for example, by Options ExecCGI. Since the script is written in Python, youl mioght also want to check some Python forums.

Maybe that is part of it. I was under the impression you needed to put everything in a place accessible by the web, but maybe not. I'll try that. Thanks!
