Django accepting other applications ports

[Sven Mäurer]

I have two applications on my apache. Why is my Django application running accepting the connection also of port 8888?

Listen 8787
<VirtualHost 81.169.229.41:8787>

The other application:

Listen 8888
<VirtualHost 81.169.229.41:8888>

Hello,

Please share the rest of this Apache config; from what you copied, it's impossible to tell.

Best,
Gergely

WSGIScriptAlias belongs in your VirtualHost, not at the server config
level. Also...

This is dangerous. You should never set your DocumentRoot to be where
your code is. A minor misconfiguration in your apache setup could
expose all your source code! Instead set your document root to
something empty (or maybe containing your static files directory) and
do this:

WSGIPythonPath /var/www/python/backend:/var/www/python/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages

<VirtualHost blah>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/python/API/wsgi.py
<Directory /var/www/python/backend/API/>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Ohh thanks. You have saved at least 4 hours of my sleep, 10 coffees and a very bad mood!
