Web server programming environment setup（windows）

Python3.x built-in cgi-server is strongly recommanded

 I use Python 3.8.1

1. At first, make a directory somewhere named 'www', where you should make one more directory named 'cgi-bin'.For instance, I build it in the root directory of disk D as shown in the screenshot below.

2. After the directories made, come to directory 'C:\Windows\System32' for cmd.exe,then right-click and choose 'Run as  an Administrator', 

 

3. Input command D:——>cd D:\PyCharm Community Edition 2019.2.4\www——>python -m http.server --cgi PORTNUMBER( unused ports such as 8001)

4.Input 'localhost:PORTNUMBER' in browser address field to test if the CGI service is activated.

 

make a python file(.py) under the 'cgi-bin' directory, the code is shown below

Input in the browser address field as below:
