Configuring mod_python and Djano on Apache2

[webhopper]

Hello,

I am a new fan of Django. Enjoying the learning process. The tutorial
documentation is great. Where I am stuck is on how to move my
development project onto my public website which sits on Ubuntu 8.10.

I was able to configure mod_python and tell it where to find my Django
project and templates. Found this blog
http://www.jeffbaier.com/2007/07/26/installing-django-on-an-ubuntu-linux-server/
useful.

This is what I had in apache2.conf:

<location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE Test.settings
PythonPath "['/home/YOUR_USERNAME/django_projects'] + sys.path"
</location>

This works and I can see my Django site working. But here is the
problem. I have other stuff like MovableType running on same web
server, which I do not want to disrupt.

The way Apache gets configured if I follow instructions above seems to
be that EVERYTHING is seen by mon_python first and I am being required
to list all context roots that should NOT be handled by mod_python.
See for example below:


<location "/phpmyadmin">
SetHandler None
</location >

This is painful and does not scake as I consolidate more on same
server.

Is there a way top configure mod_python better?

Thanks in advance for any advice....

Best

it depends on the url structure of your site really

if you don't need your django site to load from the root you could
just do something like

<location "/">
SetHandler None
</location>

<location "/djangosite">

SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE Test.settings
PythonPath "['/home/YOUR_USERNAME/django_projects'] + sys.path"
</location>

Don't need SetHandler None at root needed if mounting at sub URL. In
fact this may cause other things to stop working.
