Serving a Django 1.11 Application Through Apache and mod_wsgi

Create a django project "mysite"

In "mysite" project we're going to change it a bit and add an apache directory which contain three files:


In "mysite" add apache folder structure

mysite/
manage.py
mysite/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
apache/
__init__.py
override.py
wsgi.py
myapp/
models.py
views.py

The empty __init__.py file tells Python to treat the directory as a package.


Add following content in override.py

# override.py

from mysite.settings import *

DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['www.mydomain.com', 'mydomain.com']

Add following content in wsgi.py

#wsgi.py
import os, sys
# Calculate the path based on the location of the WSGI script.
apache_configuration= os.path.dirname(__file__)
project = os.path.dirname(apache_configuration)
workspace = os.path.dirname(project)
sys.path.append(workspace)
sys.path.append(project)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.apache.override'
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

Change ownership of apache folder

sudo chown www-data:www-data apache/


Configure Apache Settings
----------------------------------


Add static and wsgi path in 000-default.conf

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf



Alias /static /home/pranav/Django/projects/mysite2/static
    <Directory /home/pranav/Django/projects/mysite2/static>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/pranav/Django/projects/mysite2/mysite2/apache>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/pranav/Django/projects/mysite2/mysite2/apache/wsgi.py

Finally, save and close the file and restart Apache to see the changes:

sudo service apache2 restart
