Re: django takes all my toys
It sounds like Django is working and your issue is with the web server configuration. In you case it sounds like there are two ways you could install Django, add a virtual host to the machine, or configure apache to serve Django from a subdirectory. Unless you have extra hostnames available, I'd go with the subdirectory option. Both configuration options have examples on the web.

You'll want a vhost setup (most likely). Slicehost has some great articles on Apache Virtual Hosts and CentOS (http:// articles.slicehost.com/2008/12/12/centos-apache-virtual-hosts-1). You'll either want a brand spanking new domain name, or subdomain your existing domain name. You may want to look into running the application in virtualenv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv). Perhaps with the --no-site- packages flag for more isolation from the global system. It sounds like your issue has more to do with how your handling your Apache configuration than anything though, so perhaps running your Django app in a virtualenv may not be necessary. If you do go this route, you'll need to spend some time with the WSGI docs (which are excellent) and WSGI's support for Python virtual environments (http://code.google.com/ p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments).

django takes all my toys
Hi, I don't know very much about django, except that a piece of software that one of my colleagues developed requires it to function properly. My problem is as follows : I have inherited responsibility for installing the aforementioned software on a pre-existing webserver which already hosts more than one site. The server has been installed and maintained by an ad-hoc group of researchers, insofar as I can determine. I need to install deploy Django for the piece of software on this server without clobbering any pre-existing websites. I have successfully* installed and configured** Django with Apache and mod_wsgi and Python2.6 on a CentOS machine. However, when I enable django in the apache configuration file, one of two things happens : (1) the congratulations you installed django page appears on all or most webpages on the server (2) the congratulations you installed Django page is inaccessible. Neither of these outcomes solves my problems... What would be the recommended way to allow django and the rest of the sites to coexist? Do I need virtual hosts and a separate URL?
