Question

So have an ubuntu server with lamp installed. We installed webmin so we would have a gui and we created a virtual host on it. There are three sites we want to host on this host and they are set up as so

myserver.com/site1
myserver.com/site2
myserver.com/site3

On site1 I want to use django which I set up sucessfully with mod_wsgi. But the problem is when I go to any page on the site like site2 or site3 I can see the django splash page on them. I only want django to be effecting the site1 directory not /site2 or /site3. I don’t want to use django in site2 or 3.

Is this a problem caused by the way I set up the directives for the virtual host. Which is

<Directory /var/www/site1 >
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess site1 processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup site1

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/site1/apache/django.wsgi

Answer 1

The WSGIScriptAlias determines what Django serves. You’ve set it up to serve /, the root, so all paths are served by Django. If you only want it to serve /site1, use that:

WSGIScriptAlias /site1 /var/www/site1/apache/django.wsgi
