CGI deployment on Apache
Here are the simple steps needed to create and run an web.py application.
Install web.py and flups
Create the application as documented
if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls, globals())
For our example, let it be named app.py, located in /www/app and we need it accessible as http://server/app/app.py.
Configure Apache (version 2.2 in this example)
ScriptAlias /app "/www/app/" <Directory "/www/app/"> Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
That's it. Your application is accessible via http://server/app/app.py/. Additional URLs handled by the application are added to the end of the URL, for examples http://server/app/app.py/myurl.
