I have a problem with my apache server (Shared Hosting, no root).
I've installed a python package via SSH-Terminal (with pip install) under ./local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/.
There is a python file which imports this package. When I run the python file via the SSH-Terminal everything works fine.
But when I run the python file within a php exec command
exec("/usr/bin/python myscript.py 2>&1", $out, $result);
an error occurs:
"ImportError: No module named XXX".
Do you know what went wrong here or what I can do to make the script work in the browser as well?
Thanks in advance

I have two files - one PHP file and one Python file. The python file imports the Jira module, searches for issues, and obtains information from Jira. This file does function correctly and it will find Jira issues and return all needed fields successfully.
The PHP file (for this example, let's call it py_exec.php) is part of a website and executes the Python file through shell_exec; something to the effect of:
$jira_issues = shell_exec(python3 py_search.py issue=blah);
print_r($jira_issues);
When I run the Python script directly, the script works correctly.
When I execute the PHP script directly, which in turn executes the Python script, the script works correctly.
But when I run the PHP script from the website, the script returns nothing.
After troubleshooting a bit, I tried to run the command as the apache user and I am given the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jira'
Obviously the module is installed, but it seems that it's not accessible to Apache.
How do I make this module accessible to Apache?
Many thanks, in advance, for any help I can get.
su to the apache user and run pip install jira. Check that it worked by doing python and then import jira.
Sometimes pip ends up aliased to something other than python. So if you have issues, try python -m pip instead.
I'm trying to run my python script that I developed/tested through IDE and it's working fine over there.
But when I try to run the same script on Command Prompt (Windows 10) which has to import any module. Note that python script and the .bat file is in the same directory.
I think this is happening environment setup so I did some search and found these posts below;
import error: 'No module named' *does* exist
No module error when running python script from command prompt
Python command line Import Error
Unable to imoprt modules on python script while running on cmd
Package doesn't work if run from cmd or from the .py file.... PYTHON
https://www.programmersought.com/article/7436148385/
Here is the error snapshot
Steps followed
Python version 3.8.3
Environment variables are set under system environment variables
in the 'code.py' also added
import sys
sys.path.append('D:\program_files\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages')
Seaborn and Scipy updated the latest versions
CMD FILE look like this
I followed older solutions like set up environment variables for python libraries and python path so for not even close to get rid of this error.
Any idea to help what I'm missing here ?
Thanks
When running a Python CGI script on Apache2, the server is unable to import certain python modules. For example, Pandas is installed locally:
And this is the script I want to run from the /var/www/html directory:
But the python script keeps giving an import error for pandas when running from the web. I have changed the shebang line a few times thinking that it could be an issue. I've tried /usr/bin/python3, /usr/bin/env python3, /usr/bin/python3.5 and /usr/bin/env python3.5 but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I'm wondering if it's to do with permissions for the site-packages directory seeing as it's outside the web directory. Or if a completely different python environment is used when the CGI script is executed from the web. This is the site configuration:
Are there any additional authorizations that would allow for local modules to be called or is there another solution for this?
I have an executable python script which archives data from mysql server using the pymysql library. The script works well from the command line.
I call this script from a php script using escapeshellcmd function and I've gotten it to work.
I also have created a bash script that I intend to use from crontab to archive the information as well. I can make this script work as well, by making changes outlined below.
Somehow I have gotten into python versions and path problems.
if I include
#!/home/tim/anaconda3/bin/python
as the first line of the python script it works when called by the php script (using www-data as the user, I believe). It doesn't work from the bash script or the command line, giving the following error:
File "./signal_archive.py", line 22, in <module>
import pymysql
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymysql'
However, if the first line of the python script is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/python3
the script works from the bash script and the command line but not from the php script. It gives the following error:
File "/home/tim/python/commodities_related/signal_archive.py", line 23, in <module>
import pandas as pd
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'
Both packages are installed on my system. Thinking pointing the script to the path would help, I added the following to the python script but no luck so far.
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:')
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages:')
There is obviously something I'm missing; I think it is that php script is called by www-user and I don't know the default path. The bash file is called by my user with the path specified in the .bashrc file. However, I may need to point the apache or php (www-user) to use a specific installation of python.
EDIT-
To be more clear, a php script (phpfile1.php) calls the python script. When I call phpfile1.php from another php script (phpfile2.php) running on apache2 I everything works using the
#!/home/tim/anaconda3/bin/python
When I call the same file (phpfile1.php) from a different php script (phpfile3.php) from a bash script it fails.
Additionally, if I run the file in place using the following
./signal_archive.py
I get the error but if I run it using the following command it works:
python signal_archive.py
Any ideas if this is right or how to do it? Thanks.
I fixed this in 2 steps:
It turns out that I needed to add the path to anaconda3 to my .bash_profile file.
export PATH="/home/tim/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
When anaconda3 is installed it modifies the .bashrc file with the previous code snippet. However .bash_profile made the difference in this case.
I also modified the top of the python file to use the anaconda path for execution, as well as add the path for the specific python packages.
#!/home/tim/anaconda3/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.insert(1, '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages')
I have a python script that uses the pytz module and it runs successfully on one server. But I have moved the script to a different server (over SSH), and now when I try to run the code there I get:
ImportError: No module named pytz
Is there an easy way I can get it to run? I believe I don't have the permissions to download new modules...
try to install this module on your new ssh server, by using:
python -m pip install pytz
if you haven't permissions to download any module, try to use a common similar, or compile this script to a .sh or .exe runnable file, on your developer machine.
