http request to cgi python script successful, but the script doesn't seem to run
- by chipChocolate.py
I have configured cgi scripts for my apache2 web server.
Here is what I want to do:
Client uploads the image to the server. (this already works)
On success, I want to execute the python script to resize the image.
I tried the following and the success function does execute but my python script does not seem to execute:
Javascript code that sends the request:
var input = document.getElementById('imageLoader');
imageName = input.value;
var file = input.files[0];
if(file != undefined){
formData= new FormData();
console.log(formData.length);
if(!!file.type.match(/image.*/)){
formData.append("image", file);
$.ajax({
url: "upload.php",
type: "POST",
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function() {
var input = document.getElementById('imageLoader');
imageName = input.value;
var file = input.files[0];
formData = new FormData();
formData.append("filename", file);
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/Main/cgi-bin/resize.py",
type: "POST",
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
// code continues...
resize.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi
import cgitb
import Image
cgitb.enable()
data = cgi.FieldStorage()
filename = data.getvalue("filename")
im = Image.open("../JS/upload/" + filename)
(width, height) = im.size
maxWidth = 600
maxHeight = 400
if width > maxWidth:
d = float(width) / maxWidth
height = int(height / d)
width = maxWidth
if height > maxHeight:
d = float(height) / maxHeight
width = int(width / d)
height = maxHeight
size = (width, height)
im = im.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save("../JS/upload/" + filename, quality=100)
This is the apache2.conf:
<Directory /var/www/html/Main/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
AddHandler cgi-script .py .cgi
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
cgi-bin and python script file permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 2 mou mou 4096 Aug 24 03:28 cgi-bin
-rwxrwxrwx 1 mou mou 1673 Aug 24 03:28 resize.py
Edit:
Executing this code
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/Main/cgi-bin/resize.py",
type: "POST",
data: formData, // formData = {"filename" : "the filename which was saved in a variable whie the image was uploaded"}
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
it alerts the following:

Does this mean that the formData I am sending over is empty?
