Question

I want to link my Python project to a wsgi file. I am using mod_wsgi.

I would like my Python project to be located in /var/www/myProject/start.py.

I’ve configured Apache as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.example.me
    ServerAlias example.me
    ServerAdmin [e-mail]
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/documents
    LogLevel warn

    Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/www/documents/robots.txt
    Alias /favicon.png /usr/local/www/documents/favicon.png
    Alias /media/ /usr/local/www/documents/media/

    <Directory /usr/local/www/documents>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts/myApp.wsgi

    <Directory /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

So far this is what I have in myApp.wsgi file:

import web

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

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

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

What do I have to do in order to link my project which is located in /var/www/myProject/start.py to be called by myApp.wsgi?

Replace final argument to WSGIScriptAlias with ‘/var/www/myProject/start.py’.

Change reference in Directory directive to ‘/var/www/myProject’. In other words, just set the configuration to point to the correct location in the first place.
