Deployment

See the instructions for deploying a django project on the django deployment page

Note

You’ll need to add the path of your project to the python path just as you did lingcod.

Apache Configuration

Using Apache2, you can configure your project as an apache virtual host using the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName your.server.org

        Alias /media/admin/ /src/django/django/contrib/admin/media/
        <Location /media/admin>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        </Location>

        Alias /media/ /src/marinemap/media/
        <Location /media>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Options -ExecCGI
        Options -Indexes
        </Location>

        <Location /media/upload>
        Order Allow,Deny
        Deny from all
        </Location>

        WSGIScriptAlias / /src/project/project_wsgi.py
        WSGIDaemonProcess project user=gisdev group=gisdev processes=10 threads=1
        WSGIProcessGroup project
</VirtualHost>

WSGIRestrictStdin Off

This file is typically placed in /etc/apache2/sites-available/project and then made available using the apache utilities:

a2ensite project

This configuration allows admin media and standard media to be served by apache. It also locks down the media/upload directory which is where user-uploaded files will be placed; we control access to these files through django views in order to leverage authentication and security.

The wsgi script is a python file similar to this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import os

sys.stdout = sys.stderr

# If django is not already in python site-directories
sys.path.append('/src/django')

# Project specific
sys.path.append('/src/project')

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
