Basic configuration for running under Apache

[bob gailer]

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/

This page offers:

WSGIScriptAlias //path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com

<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/mysite>

In my setup this becomes c:\Users\myname\mysite\mysite\wsgi.py

I am puzzled by the .com in the example. Can you explain?

[Tim Graham]

I think it's just an example directory name. You can use whatever names you like.

[Antonis Christofides]

The author of that snippet decided that the root directory of the Django project is named "mysite.com", whereas the Django project itself is "mysite". While this is plausible, it is suboptimal as an example because usually the root directory of the Django project has the same name as the Django project itself ("django-admin startproject" creates it this way).

So you can perfectly read it as //path/to/mysite/mysite/wsgi.py etc.

Goal: run django under apache on windows 10. I have tried many things,
none of which have worked. Errror messages up to wazoo. Google has not
been my friend: I found a lot of articles Everything I read is either
oriented to linux and/or assumes knowledge I don't have.

Example: today I discovered
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/install/. There is a
section titled "Install Apache and mod_wsgi". Unfortunately it does not
tell us how to install either!

Do you know the best, proper, user-friendly, successful way to get
django running under apache on windows 10?

[Daniel Roseman]

How can you have error messages from running Django under Apache if you haven't even managed to install Apache yet? 

But the full documentation on setting this up is at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/.
