Hi folks, I'm trying to configure my mod_wsgi 2.5 to allow virtual Python environments, as described on the wiki[1].
I decided to go with a Python baseline, so I took the following steps: 1. created a virtual environment at /usr/local/baseline (with --no- site-packages) 2. placed `WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/baseline` at the bottom of my apache2.conf file[2] 3. restarted Apache 4. attempted to load the page and import the `django` module 5. loading the module was rather too successful for the empty baseline environment, and at restart I got: [Fri Jul 03 12:08:11 2009] [warn] mod_wsgi: Python module path '/usr/ lib/python2.5/:/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2:/usr/lib/python2.5/lib- tk:/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload'. Here's where the problem exists. I'm successful in importing the django module that's installed on the system's main Python configuration. My understanding was that defining a `WSGIPythonHome` would override the system's Python and make all packages installed there unavailable. I modified the WSGI file that was being called to return an exception with the Django version and the current sys.path, which I could then view in the Apache log: Exception: ((1, 0, 2, 'final', 0), ['/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/pip-0.3dev-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ virtualenv-1.3.2-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ virtualenvwrapper-1.8.1-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ Trac-0.11.4-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Genshi-0.5.1- py2.5-linux-i686.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ TracMercurial-0.11.0.7-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ agilo-0.7.4.1_r1624_20090611-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/ReviewBoard-1.0-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ pytz-2009j-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ flup-1.0.3.dev_20090612-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ Pygments-1.0-py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Djblets-0.5- py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django_evolution-0.0.0- py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final- py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-linux- i686.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TracWysiwyg-0.2_r5931- py2.5.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/ usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/ local/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/ site-packages']) So there I've placed my virtual environment as Python home, but `/usr/ lib/python2.5/` is still being used. I wanted to make sure `www-data` had access to this directory, so I tried: frid...@encom:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled$ sudo su www-data sh-3.2$ source /usr/local/baseline/bin/activate (baseline)sh-3.2$ I don't seem to have any means of debugging what's happening or not happing with the `WSGIPythonHome` directive when it's interpreted, because it seems that whatever path I put there (however valid), it doesn't log a single thing even in `LogLevel debug` mode. `mod_python` is not enabled (it was mentioned that it would interfere with WSGIPythonHome, making it ineffective), this is my `mods-enabled` folder: alias.conf, alias.load, auth_basic.load, authn_file.load, authz_default.load, authz_groupfile.load, authz_host.load, authz_user.load, autoindex.conf, autoindex.load, cgid.conf, cgid.load, deflate.conf, deflate.load, dir.conf, dir.load, env.load, mime.conf, mime.load, negotiation.conf, negotiation.load, setenvif.conf, setenvif.load, status.conf, status.load, wsgi.conf, wsgi.load I'd appreciate any suggestions that could help troubleshoot this, Friðrik Már [1] http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments [2] This is used in the Debian Apache hierarchy, and is essentially the main config file, equal to httpd.conf in some distributions. At any rate, this is loaded before any WSGIScriptAlias call. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "modwsgi" group.
