changes to .py file is not reflected until server is restarted.

[vijaymohan]

I am new to django and did't find solution googling. i changed a .py
file in my app and hit refresh button on web browser but the changes
are not reflected until i restart the httpd. is there any flag i need
to set this to happen.

I set PythonAutoReload On in python.conf.
Changes to template file are reflecting but not the .py files.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Some web app servers will allow you to 'touch' the wrapper file (wsgi.py for example) which will in turn trigger a restart. Running manage.py in 'runserver' mode will also do this (this is for dev, NOT for production).

But for the most part, production will require you to restart the webapp service in order to recognise changes (an exception being Apache, which allows the 'touch' approach).

Hope this helps

Cal

i am using Apache, touch approach is not working for me.Is there any change i need to make in httpd.conf ?

May I ask which file you are attempting to 'touch'? You can only do it on the bootstrapper.

[vijay mysite]$ ls

__init__.py  manage.py  settings.py  templates  urls.py  views.py

modified views.py file.

Yeah that won't work.

You need to 'touch' your bootstrapper.

i am in very early stage of learning django. if you don't mind could you tell me what the bootstrapper is ?

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Sorry, I should have been more clear on this.

In your apache config, you should have specified a WSGI file to attach to (assuming you are using WSGI) - this is the file you need to touch.

If not, please specify how you are telling Apache to connect to your python app.

i did't modify httpd.conf

i just included the below line in /etc/httpd/conf.d/python.conf

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

<Location "/">

    SetHandler python-program

    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython

    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings

    PythonOption django.root /mysite

    PythonDebug On

    PythonAutoReload On

    PythonPath "['/var/www/html'] + sys.path"

</Location>

and  mysite directory i have the below files

__init__.py  manage.py  settings.py  templates  urls.py  views.py

so, which file should i touch ?

Firstly, mod_python is deprecated. Don't use it. Use mod_wsgi instead for production.

Secondly, for development, don't use Apache. Use the built-in runserver. That's what it's for.

apachectl graceful - no other way.

Sightly off topic, but your .py files seem to be exposed by your webserver - you shouldn't do this or anyone could download them!
