[OpenLayers-Users] Exception Error

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Did you check if Python is available on your server machine? Just try 
python in a shell.

Is your server able to connect to remote services? Does it need proxy 
settings etc. to connect to outside services? Did you check your Apache 
error log?

For your javascript you should use:

OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url="

Best regards,
Bart
