Because of the meta-tag contents, you are probably right. The way he had
it before, he was unquoting in the middle of his tag:

print "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;
URL=http://www.aramedis.de/de/index.htx">"


As others have suggested, looking at the messages in the error log would
also be especially helpful.

Or, try this:


   #!/usr/local/bin/python
   import cgi
   import sys        # include this
   import traceback  # include this

   sys.stderr = sys.stdout
   print "Content-Type: text/html\n"

   try:

     print """

<html><head>
<title>Aramedis.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="5;URL=http://www.aramedis.de/de/index.htx">
</head>
<body bgcolor=#000000>
hallo
</body>
</html>"""

   except:  # trap Python error and display in browser

       print "\n\n<PRE>"
       traceback.print_exc()
       print "\n</PRE>"


This way, the error messages will display in your browser.
