<span id="how-to-use-django-with-apache-and-mod-wsgi"></span><h1>How to use Django with Apache and mod_wsgi<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-django-with-apache-and-mod-wsgi" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Deploying Django with <a class="reference external" href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/">mod_wsgi</a> is the recommended way to get
Django into production.</p>
<p>mod_wsgi is an Apache module which can be used to host any Python application
which supports the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/">Python WSGI interface</a>, including Django. Django will work
with any version of Apache which supports mod_wsgi.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/">official mod_wsgi documentation</a> is fantastic; it’s your source for all
the details about how to use mod_wsgi. You’ll probably want to start with the
<a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationInstructions">installation and configuration documentation</a>.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-basic-configuration">
<span id="basic-configuration"></span><h2>Basic Configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-configuration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Once you’ve got mod_wsgi installed and activated, edit your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">httpd.conf</span></tt> file
and add:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite/apache/django.wsgi</pre>
</div>
<p>The first bit above is the url you want to be serving your application at (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/</span></tt>
indicates the root url), and the second is the location of a "WSGI file" -- see
below -- on your system, usually inside of your project. This tells Apache
to serve any request below the given URL using the WSGI application defined by that file.</p>
<p>Next we'll need to actually create this WSGI application, so create the file
mentioned in the second part of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">WSGIScriptAlias</span></tt> and add:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">os</span>
<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">sys</span>
<span class="n">os</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">environ</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s">'DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'mysite.settings'</span>
<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">django.core.handlers.wsgi</span>
<span class="n">application</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">django</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">core</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">handlers</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">wsgi</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">WSGIHandler</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If your project is not on your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PYTHONPATH</span></tt> by default you can add:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">sys</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">path</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">append</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'/usr/local/django'</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>just above the final <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">import</span></tt> line to place your project on the path. Remember to
replace 'mysite.settings' with your correct settings file, and '/usr/local/django'
with your own project's location.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-serving-media-files">
<span id="serving-media-files"></span><h2>Serving media files<a class="headerlink" href="#serving-media-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Django doesn't serve media files itself; it leaves that job to whichever Web
server you choose.</p>
<p>We recommend using a separate Web server -- i.e., one that's not also running
Django -- for serving media. Here are some good choices:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://www.lighttpd.net/">lighttpd</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.nginx.org/Main">Nginx</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUX_web_server">TUX</a></li>
<li>A stripped-down version of <a class="reference external" href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://www.cherokee-project.com/">Cherokee</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If, however, you have no option but to serve media files on the same Apache
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">VirtualHost</span></tt> as Django, you can set up Apache to serve some URLs as
static media, and others using the mod_wsgi interface to Django.</p>
<p>This example sets up Django at the site root, but explicitly serves <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">robots.txt</span></tt>,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">favicon.ico</span></tt>, any CSS file, and anything in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/media/</span></tt> URL space as a static
file. All other URLs will be served using mod_wsgi:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/wsgi/static/robots.txt
Alias /favicon.ico /usr/local/wsgi/static/favicon.ico
AliasMatch /([^/]*\.css) /usr/local/wsgi/static/styles/$1
Alias /media/ /usr/local/wsgi/static/media/
<Directory /usr/local/wsgi/static>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/wsgi/scripts/django.wsgi
<Directory /usr/local/wsgi/scripts>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory></pre>
</div>
<p>More details on configuring a mod_wsgi site to serve static files can be found
in the mod_wsgi documentation on <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationGuidelines#Hosting_Of_Static_Files">hosting static files</a>.</p>

options you've got when deploying under mod_wsgi.</p>
