Settting up Web2py as WSGI on Webfaction
Make available two subdomain names, one for adminstration, the other
for public display:
'admin.example.com'
'www.example.com'
Create a webfaction application of type "mod_wsgi 2.0/Python 2.5":
'apachewsgi'
Create two webfaction sites that :
'mysite_admin' -- https enabled; subdomain 'admin.example.com';
application 'apachewsgi' served at '/'
'mysite' -- *not* https enabled; subdomain 'www.example.com';
application 'apachewsgi' served at '/'
Get the latest web2py and copy it into ~/webapps/apachewsgi/:
cd ~/repos/svn #for example
svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py-read-
only
svn export web2py-read-only ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py
Edit ~/webapps/apachewsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
see listing below
in the httpd.conf file, the port number for the app is in line:
"Listen NNNN"
Create admin password:
in ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py:
python2.5 web2py -p NNNN # where NNNN is port number, no
quotes
web2py will ask you for a password, which it will then store in a
file, 'parameters_NNNN.py'
from another terminal, kill web2py process according to web2py's
output instructions
Start your app:
~/webapps/apachewsgi/apach2/bin/start
Have fun ?
