How to use Django with Apache and mod_wsgi

[Seyfullah Tıkıç]

Hello,

 

I read the article below.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/deployment/modwsgi/

 

But still http://localhost redirects to /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html.
I want http://localhost/ redirescts to /home/seyfullah/django/mysite.
How can I do this?

Hello,

Could you post the VirtualHost configuration for Apache?
That would greatly help us help you.

httpd.conf file is in the attachment.

The DocumentRoot directive is missing from the httpd.conf, indicating you did not send all the required data. This may be because your attachment is incomplete:

There is an include statement in your httpd.conf: "Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf"

All files from that conf.d folder are also processed. Please look in files located in  /etc/apache2/conf.d/ for anything useful. Especially files that contain a documentroot directive

Also, it may help if you post the output of

apachectl -S 

(note: some distros want apache2ctl instead of apachectl)

You would be good to organize your configuration. Try creating a file under /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/
Probably my_domain.com (substitute my_domain.com with your actual domain).

And move all the configuration to it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@my_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/django/mysite/media/
    ServerName my_domain.com
    ServerAlias www.my_domain.com
   
    #WSGIDaemonProcess site-1 user=user-1 group=user-1 threads=25
    #WSGIProcessGroup site-1

    Alias /media/ /usr/local/django/mysite/media/

    <Directory /home/seyfullah/django/mysite/media>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/seyfullah/django/mysite/apache/django.wsgi

    <Directory /home/seyfullah/django/mysite/apache>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
   
</VirtualHost>

You can remove the comments after you are sure its working

I checked my file again, it is not incomplete.

There is no file in /etc/apache2/conf.d

Output of apachectl -S is as below. I actually uninstalled mod_python, I want to use mod_wsgi only.
Syntax error on line 49 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/16_mod_python.conf:
Invalid command 'PythonHandler', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

line 49 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/16_mod_python.conf is as below, I don't know why it causes an error.

    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython

Then do I have to delete 00_default_vhost.conf file?
What name can I give to this new created file?

Well you have not referred or included 00_default_vhost.conf in your httpd.conf so this file is not actually read by the web server! This is confirmed in your output of apache2ctl -S.

Together with the observation that there is no "NameVirtualHost" OR a "DocumentRoot"  directive in the httpd.conf you supplied, suggests you either are not supplying us with all the config info you have OR you have a really weird apache set up. Anyway, your issue is clearly with Apache and not Django, so it  may be better if you ask these questions in a dedicated forum.
