how to use WSGI applications with apache

[travis+ml-python]

Hi folks,

I'm not quite sure where to ask this, but this is my closest guess.

I've written a web service based on the newf micro-framework and it uses
wsgiref.simple_server. I'm noticing that it's not returning response
codes properly (after fixing a bug in newf). Instead, it just
closes the TCP connection silently.

I am assuming that I need to run it with a more sophisticated server,
and I eventually want to run it under apache, but I can't seem to
figure out how to do this. Someone once showed me how, and it was
a simple line in the apache config. But I can't figure it out how
to do again.

Any help?

There are all manner of things that you can configure. First you need to
enable mod_wsgi - on as linux box this should be something like:
"a2enmod wsgi"

Then you need something like this inside a suitable virtualhost tag in
your apache configuration files:


WSGIDaemonProcess test threads=1 processes=1 maximum-requests=10000 \
python-path=/dir/for/my/script

WSGIProcessGroup test

WSGIScriptAlias /test /dir/for/my/script/myscript.wsgi

<Directory /dir/for/my/script>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


The file myscript.wsgi is a python module within which "application"
names your wsgi application.
