want HTTP Server with CGI Support, just need PYTHON without any scripts
so to have CGI supported HTTP server, just by using PYTHON, you need to follow below steps
Step#1.
opening shell/command-prompt
Step#2.
$>cd (change dir) to directory you want to be root of your server
Step#4.
create a directory name 'cgi-bin' or 'htbin', say "mkdir cgi-bin"
Step#5.
copy all your CGI-scripts to this newly created 'cgi-bin' directory
Step#6.
now if anyhow you changed your directory, change it back to Parent Dir of created dir 'cgi-bin'
Step#7.
now run this command without quotes
"python -m CGIHTTPServer"
Finally, [ Say yyippppeeeee... ] Thanks...
now you have a CGI supported Simple HTTP Server running, that can be accessed at Port 8000 of your Server's IP/Name
so you can test it by browsing in any web browser at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/
and like if you copied any script 'time' to cgi-bin then its accessible at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/cgi-bin/time
