Hello.

Python is installed, but not recognized by scripts?

I have python installed, but none of my scripts recognize it, and says that there is no python installed.

When I do "which python" command in ssh and it tells me that it is installed.

Also I had my server management company look at it, and they told me it is installed and cant do anything else, and dont know why the scripts are not picking it up.

My scripts were working fine with Plesk on old server, and this server I have plesk aswell, but my scripts are not picking up python......

Also, just for more information, LOADAVG is not picking up by scripts aswell as PYTHON. So there is definitely something wrong.

Any help please?

Thanks.

Hello,
So if "which python" is showing python in /usr/local/bin/python or /usr/bin/python , check these binaries are available there

# ls -al /usr/bin/python
# ls -al /usr/local/bin/python

If it is ok edit th first line of your python script as follows
#!/usr/bin/env python

Now try to execute it . If the above one not working replace the first line with the full path to python
#!/usr/local/bin/python

If you are using a self executable script make sure to chmod 755 .

Its showing as the location as /usr/bin/python

But I have that path in my scripts and still it is saying "Path is not valid"

It is not only 1 script, but 2 of them have the same problems.

try this following ,

# /usr/bin/python scriptname.py ,

what result are you getting.

Well its not just one .py file, its a script that uses python aswell as many other things in order to run.....

I just did that command, and it looks like the file runs....
