  • 0

I am trying to give a Domain name and run multiple django projects on my apache, for the moment I managed to host one application and and run it on 127.0.0.1:8888 the settings look like this. 

WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo/ApacheDemo/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo

<Directory C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Files>
</Directory>

I tried changing the above code to look like the code below, with a domain name so i could access it using apachedemo.com but failed miserably.

NameVirtualHost apachedemo.com   

<VirtualHost apachedemo.com>    
    ServerName apachedemo.com  
    ServerAlias www.apachedemo.com

    WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo/ApacheDemo/wsgi.py
    WSGIPythonPath C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo

    DocumentRoot C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo

    <Directory C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
        </Files>
    </Directory>    

</VirtualHost>

I am currently using port 8888 for my apache on a windows 7 machine, 127.0.0.1:8888 worked for the first version of the code, but after editing the code apache gives an error when restarting apache.

This is how my host file looks like, i only added the last line.(not quite sure why there is a # in second and third line)

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1       localhost
#   ::1             localhost
    127.0.0.1:8888       apachedemo.com       www.apachedemo.com

I am trying to find answers for two questions-

  1. How do i make apachedemo.com work
  2. How do i add another project on the same server, example apachedemo2.com

EDIT: I am developing my projects using eclipse

Thanks alot for the help guys

    Try the below configuration out. You might also find this question useful and in the mod wsgi docs there is a section on virtualhosts that might help you as well.

    WSGIPythonPath C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo

<VirtualHost apachedemo.com:8888>
    ServerName apachedemo.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo/ApacheDemo/wsgi.py

    <Directory C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
        </Files>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost apachedemo2.com:8888>
    ServerName apachedemo2.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo/apachedemo2/wsgi.py

    <Directory C:/Users/ShabeerSheffa/workspace/ApacheDemo>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
        </Files>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    Update

    One of the comments below asked can you have different WSGIPythonPath in each virtualhost. Looking at the configuration docs WSGIPythonPath can only be in the context server config and not virtualhost. You can however add to the path in your wsgi files themselves as shown in this answer. You could also try and look at WSGIDaemonProcess with python-path as shown in this question.
