|

is the actual WSGI application.

mod_wsgi (Apache)
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the `Apache`_ webserver you should consider using `mod_wsgi`_.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/
|
||||
|
||||
Installing `mod_wsgi`
|
||||
`````````````````````
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have `mod_wsgi` installed yet you have to either install it using
|
||||
a package manager or compile it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
The mod_wsgi `installation instructions`_ cover installation instructions for
|
||||
source installations on UNIX systems.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using ubuntu / debian you can apt-get it and activate it as follows::
|
||||
|
||||
# apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
On FreeBSD install `mod_wsgi` by compiling the `www/mod_wsgi` port or by using
|
||||
pkg_add::
|
||||
|
||||
# pkg_add -r mod_wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using pkgsrc you can install `mod_wsgi` by compiling the
|
||||
`www/ap2-wsgi` package.
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter segfaulting child processes after the first apache reload you
|
||||
can safely ignore them. Just restart the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a `.wsgi` file
|
||||
```````````````````````
|
||||
|
||||
To run your application you need a `yourapplication.wsgi` file. This file
|
||||
contains the code `mod_wsgi` is executing on startup to get the application
|
||||
object. The object called `application` in that file is then used as
|
||||
application.
|
||||
|
||||
For most applications the following file should be sufficient::
|
||||
|
||||
from yourapplication import app as application
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have a factory function for application creation but a singleton
|
||||
instance you can directly import that one as `application`.
|
||||
|
||||
Store that file somewhere where you will find it again (eg:
|
||||
`/var/www/yourapplication`) and make sure that `yourapplication` and all
|
||||
the libraries that are in use are on the python load path. If you don't
|
||||
want to install it system wide consider using a `virtual python`_ instance.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring Apache
|
||||
``````````````````
|
||||
|
||||
The last thing you have to do is to create an Apache configuration file for
|
||||
your application. In this example we are telling `mod_wsgi` to execute the
|
||||
application under a different user for security reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
.. sourcecode:: apache
|
||||
|
||||
<VirtualHost *>
|
||||
ServerName example.com
|
||||
|
||||
WSGIDaemonProcess yourapplication user=user1 group=group1 threads=5
|
||||
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/yourapplication/yourapplication.wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
<Directory /var/www/yourapplication>
|
||||
WSGIProcessGroup yourapplication
|
||||
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

CGI
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
If all other deployment methods do not work, CGI will work for sure. CGI
|
||||
is supported by all major servers but usually has a less-than-optimal
|
||||
performance.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also the way you can use a Flask application on Google's
|
||||
`AppEngine`_, there however the execution does happen in a CGI-like
|
||||
environment. The application's performance is unaffected because of that.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _AppEngine: http://code.google.com/appengine/
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a `.cgi` file
|
||||
``````````````````````
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to create the CGI application file. Let's call it
|
||||
`yourapplication.cgi`::
|
||||
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/python
|
||||
from wsgiref.handlers import CGIHandler
|
||||
from yourapplication import app
|
||||
|
||||
CGIHandler().run(app)
|
||||
|
||||
If you're running Python 2.4 you will need the :mod:`wsgiref` package. Python
|
||||
2.5 and higher ship this as part of the standard library.
|
||||
|
||||
Server Setup
|
||||
````````````
|
||||
|
||||
Usually there are two ways to configure the server. Either just copy the
|
||||
`.cgi` into a `cgi-bin` (and use `mod_rerwite` or something similar to
|
||||
rewrite the URL) or let the server point to the file directly.
|
||||
|
||||
In Apache for example you can put a like like this into the config:
|
||||
|
||||
.. sourcecode:: apache
|
||||
|
||||
ScriptName /app /path/to/the/application.cgi
|
||||
