I want to deploy my django app on a Apache 2.4 server. The same server will host static files. The thing is that this server hosts other php based web sites.
In order for all this to work I just need to install mod_wsgi and configure apache's .conf file related to this web site, is that right?
After reading few articles I came up with this config, assuming that the web site will be in the var/www/ folder :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
# Alias /events /var/www/events/html
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
Alias /media/ /var/www/example/media/
Alias /static/ /var/www/example/static/
<Directory /var/www/example/static>
Order deny,allow
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /path/to/example/media>
Order deny,allow
Require all granted
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/example/events_promgruz/wsgi.py
WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-path=/var/www/example:/opt/envs/lib/python3.6/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup example.com
<Directory /path/to/example/example>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order allow,deny
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
LogLevel debug
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
What would you suggested to change or add to config?
Is there some other steps to ensure that django app will work and that it doesn't interfere other non wsgi apps?
This is what I ended up using:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName expample-domen.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
Alias /static /var/www/example/static
Alias /media /var/www/example/media
<Directory /var/www/example/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/example/media>
Order deny,allow
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/example/example>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess example python-home=/path/to/virtualEnv python-path=/var/www/example
WSGIProcessGroup example
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/example/example/wsgi.py
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
My site is working on http
I now want it to work using a SSl certificate. I've generated the keys and set up the virtualhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
WSGIDaemonProcess pms python-path=/home/ubuntu/myapp/myapp:/home/ubuntu/myapp/env/lib/python3.4$
WSGIProcessGroup myapp
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ubuntu/myapp/myapp/myapp/wsgi.py
<Directory /home/ubuntu/myapp/myapp/myapp>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ServerAdmin support#myapp.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.key
ServerName leanhotelsystem.com
ServerAlias *.leanhotelsystem.com
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/myapp/myapp/myapp
<Directory /home/ubuntu/myapp/myapp/myapp>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ServerAdmin support#myapp.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I've also set in wsgi.py:
os.environ['HTTPS'] = "on"
and in settings.py:
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'myapp.wsgi.application'
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
The problem is that when i access the url with https it shows my folder structure, instead of rendering the homepage.
If I access via http it works fine.
Thanks!
Looks like you forget your WSGI settings section in your new VirtualHost.
I am trying to run two different django projects one the same server, with two different domains. Django version is 1.8, and the webserver is Apache 2.4.7.
These are my conf files in sites-available:
#example.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-path=/path/example/WebPortal:/path/example/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup example.com
WSGIPassAuthorization On
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/example/WebPortal/WebPortal/wsgi.py

and:
#sub.example2.conf

WSGIDaemonProcess sub.example2.com python-path=/path/sub_example2/WebPortal:/path/sub_example2/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages

With this configuration when I enable both, only one domain work properly...on the other one I get a Bad Request (400).
I have tried many options but no one work.
Any ideas?
I have an online shop which contains a main page and a shop page. now this main page and shop page are actually two different projects, so in order to have them online, I have to run two instances of django.
now the things is, i want to have the main page on www.setakshop.ir, and the shop on shop.setakshop.ir. The thing is, after setting up the necessary settings, both shop.setakshop.ir and setakshop.ir point to the main page! and I can only see the shop page through setakshop.ir:8000, which I expected apache to proxy it to shop.setakshop.ir
I serve the DNS myself and here are my DNS settings:
;
; BIND data file for setakshop.ir
;
$TTL 3h
# IN SOA ns1.setakshop.ir. admin.setakshop.ir. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 day
;
# IN NS ns1.setakshop.ir.
# IN NS ns2.setakshop.ir.
setakshop.ir. IN MX 10 mail.setakshop.ir.
setakshop.ir. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
ns1 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
ns2 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
www IN CNAME setakshop.ir.
mail IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
ftp IN CNAME setakshop.ir.
shop IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
and when run
nslookup shop.setakshop.ir
i get a valid response. So I think the DNS setup is actually fine.
Now the other thing I suspect, is my apache settings. I suspect that I haven't set the proxy settings right. here it is:

Now I dont get what I'm doing wrong here!
I run both the projects with the following command :
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8001
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
thanks in advance.
That really is not how you run Django applications via Apache. runserver is not designed for or appropriate for production; it makes no sense to use Apache as a reverse proxy to runserver.
Confusingly it seems that you have correctly set up WSGIScriptAlias for one of your sites, but you are still proxying it. You need to remove the proxy stuff altogether, forget about runserver, and use mod_wsgi throughout.
The way to get Apache to serve two sites on two domains is to use NamedVirtualHosts. You simply set up two separate ones, each with the correct server name.
First of all you should not use ./manage.py runserver along with apache and you should not use ./manage.py runserver when you move your website to production. runserver is only for development environment, it can handle only one request at a time.
You should use mod_wsgi for running your project using Apache. Look the docs here
Or else gunicorn and nginx can be used for running your project. Have a look at this.
I have 2 URL's and two django webapps to serve. Using the following example configuration, a get request for www.server2.com results in the page for www.server1.com.
Example Incoming URLS: ( verified in apache logs)
www.server1.com
www.server2.com
vhost confs:
* server1
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.server1.com
ErrorLog /.../apache/error.log
AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) /opt/ef/static/css/$1
<Directory "/.../apache">
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /media/ /...f/media/

<Directory /.../static>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /../media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
WSGIScriptAlias / /...apache/server.wsgi
**server2
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.server2.com
ErrorLog /.../apache/error.log
AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) /opt/ef/static/css/$1
<Directory "/.../apache">
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /media/ /...f/media/
Alias /static/ /...f/static/

Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /../media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
WSGIScriptAlias / /...apache/server.wsgi
Am I matching incorrectly?
