Hello,

I have been scouring all over to figure out what is wrong with my
configuration, and it's probably something simple I have overlooked.
I'm developing a Django application that will run on Apache/mod_wsgi.
In my settings.py file, I set the DATABASES variable and the DEBUG
variable depending on if the website is running from the development
machine.

The code works as expected on the Django development server; DEBUG
gets FALSE.  However, it doesn't work as expected on the Apache/
mod_wsgi server; DEBUG gets TRUE.  What am I doing wrong?  Am I even
at the right group to ask this question?

Thank you very much!

This is what I have:

import socket
if socket.gethostname()=='IT':
    DEBUG = True
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
                'NAME': 'dev_database',
                'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_ado',
                'HOST': 'server\\SQLSERVER',
                'USER': '',
                'PASSWORD': '',
                'OPTIONS': {
                    'provider': 'SQLOLEDB',
                    'use_mars': True,
                },
        }
    }
else:
    DEBUG = False
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
                'NAME': 'live_database',
                'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_ado',
                'HOST': 'server\\SQLSERVER',
                'USER': '',
                'PASSWORD': '',
                'OPTIONS': {
                    'provider': 'SQLOLEDB',
                    'use_mars': True,
                },
        }
    }

You need to specify, with any error messages you get, what 'it doesn't
work as expected on the Apache/mod_wsgi server' means.

A few points to note.

1. Web application under Apache would run in a different user to when
you run it manually.
2. The Apache environment doesn't inherit environment variables from
your user account.
3. The user code runs as may not have access to directories you would
when run yourself.
4. The application will not have same working directory, so paths must
be absolute not relative.
