What the difference of django 1.4 runserver with mod_wsgi?

[Raitucarp]

So, I was confused with manage.py runserver. Is it the same as
mod_wsgi? Can I use daemon for wsgi with runserver, or I should
install mod_wsgi?

Hi,

manage.py runserver is an embedded webserver for development and debugging purposes only.
Do not use it in production!
Use mod_wsgi, uwsgi, gunicorn or sth. for production.

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/

No, they have no relations

You have to install mod_wsgi (or use some other HTTP server than Apache,
there are a number of options). Django's runserver is based on
wsgiref.simpler_server[0] which provides a very simple server for
testing and development, it is *not* suitable for production.
