You can refer to the following steps to host a Django web application using Httpplatformhandler.
For Django physical path is a path to manage.py of your application.
Download and Install Httpplatformhandler on IIS using Windows Platform
Installer. Or download from this link.
Django APP with Httpplatformhandler Add web.config where your Django
app is defined.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="httpplatformhandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified"
requireAccess="Script" />
</handlers>
<httpPlatform startupTimeLimit="10" startupRetryCount="10" stdoutLogEnabled="true"
processPath="C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe"
arguments="manage.py runserver">
<environmentVariables>
<environmentVariable name="foo" value="bar"/>
</environmentVariables>
</httpPlatform>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
HttpPlaform is handling the Python process. ProcessPath
is a physical path to python executable. Just like you provide python
path in a windows environment variable. To access the python
executable. Here you have to provide python.exe in processPath.
Arguments are the same argument you pass running any python web
application. For eg. python manage.py runserver where app.py to port
number all are arguments. In the above application, manage.py
runserver is passed to run Django application.
Add Permission to Django Application and Python folder where your
executable is present.
Open folder properties.
In Security click on Edit then click on Add
Enter object name as IIS AppPool<yourappname>
Click on the check name if its present click ok and allow permissions you wanted to give then apply it.
Run your application
