[Featureserver] Errors settings up feature server?

[Rob Dunfey]

Hi Dane,

I made the change you suggested but I still get the same errors.

I'm a little concerned that I'm being really daft, because I don't have
python on my web host, but I see lots of .py files in the feature server
install.   But my understanding is that featureserver can use python or
cgi?  I assume that if python isn't installed, it falls back on whatever
language is used by the web host to execute cgi programs?

I will have another look after work and see if I can make any progress.

Rob
