Webpy + Apache with mod_wsgi

The following steps were tested on Apache-2.2.3 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, x86_64), mod_wsgi-2.0.

Note:

You may replace ‘appname’ with your own project name.
You may replace code.py with your own file name.
/var/www/webpy-app found below refers to the path to the directory contains your code.py
/var/www/webpy-app/code.py is the full path to your python file

Steps:

Download and install mod_wsgi from its website: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/. It will install a ‘.so’ module in Apache module directory. e.g.
```
  /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/
```

Configure Apache to load mod_wsgi module and your project in httpd.conf:

  LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

  WSGIScriptAlias /appname /var/www/webpy-app/code.py/

  Alias /appname/static /var/www/webpy-app/static/
  AddType text/html .py

  <Directory /var/www/webpy-app/>
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
  </Directory>

Sample file ‘code.py’:

  import web

  urls = (
      '/.*', 'hello',
      )

  class hello:
      def GET(self):
          return "Hello, world."

  application = web.application(urls, globals()).wsgifunc()

Point your browser to ‘http://your_server_name/appname’ to verify whether it works for you.

#Note: mod_wsgi + sessions

If you use sessions with mod_wsgi, you should change you code like below:

app = web.application(urls, globals())

curdir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
session = web.session.Session(app, web.session.DiskStore(os.path.join(curdir,'sessions')),)

application = app.wsgifunc()
