CherryPy 3.2.2 behind Apache: No socket could be created

[cpcanta...@gmail.com]

I have followed CherryPy Essentials to build up an app behind Apache with mod_python,

but I have the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/CherryPy-3.2.2-py2.6.egg/cherrypy/process/servers.py", line 187, in _start_http_thread

    self.httpserver.start()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/CherryPy-3.2.2-py2.6.egg/cherrypy/wsgiserver/wsgiserver2.py", line 1824, in start

    raise socket.error(msg)

error: No socket could be created

I have tried to change port to 9091 or others, and it is not working. "localhost" is not helping either.

It seems that the setup function in my code has been located correctly.

In google chrome I got Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

Any idea would be appreciated, thanks

Hi Carlos,

Unfortunately, I would discourage you from using mod_python. It's been a dead project for years now. The book is dating as well sadly. Rather you should use mod_wsgi or a reverse_proxy module (my favourite option).

Sylvain,

I have finally created an apache conf.d file like:

ProxyPass /myapp http://127.0.0.1:9091/myapp

ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://127.0.0.1:9091/myapp

And it works. Apache serves everything except /myapp (there are other apps in this server, done in php, perl, ...)

However, I have had to change all css, images, etc links

with /myapp prefix.

Maybe I am missing something, but with my ignorance about both Apache and CherryPy

is the best solution I have achieved.

Thank you for your advice
