Updating files without web server restart

[Thiago Parolin]

We have a small webserver that is used by many projects (php) from many users.
Now, i am hosting a django project.

The problem is:
 - when user changed some file in his project, the apache continues serving old file until restart the httpd service.
 - the users don't have sudo access, and i don't want to give this power to them.

How can i make apache identify changes without restart?
I never had this problem with php before, and i am totally new to django...
Sorry if this question is more about apache than django.

Thanks.

you may use uwsgi and tell uwsgi to gracefully reload, it won't even close any eventual tcp sockets, they will wait until the new code is loaded, users will never now you reloaded the application

Are you using mod_wsgi? http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/reloading-source-code.html has information on how to have it reload the code.

Thanks a lot to all!
I will try uwsgi and i will read about mod_wsgi to know who is the best to my needs and will solve my problem.

Hello,

1) My opinion is that uwsgi is difficult without offering any equivalent advantage. The WSGI server I usually recommend is Gunicorn. I've explained this in Which WSGI server should I use? If you start Gunicorn with the --reload option, it automatically reloads files when changed.

2) However, I don't recommend to change WSGI server just for this reason, especially if mod_wsgi also has this functionality.

Regards,

A.
