Software versions: here are my application versions:
Python 3.8.2
Django 3.1.1
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Installation:
Step 1: Install apache 2, Django and other packages
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install Django
sudo pip3 install mysql-python
sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb
Step 2: create Django project - I create project under /var/www, but you may put anywhere, it's up to you
django-admin.py startproject myproject
You will see these files and folder under /var/www/myproject
myproject/
django.wsgi*
manage.py*
Step 3: Create apache vhost file
cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/xxxx.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
#My site Name
ServerName xxxx.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject
WSGIDaemonProcess xxxx.com processes=2 threads=5 display-name=%{GROUP} python-path=/usr/local/lib/python3.8
#Pointing wsgi script to config file
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py
WSGIProcessGroup xxxx.com
#Your static files location
Alias /static/ "//var/www/myproject/static/"
<Location "/media">
SetHandler None
</Location>
<LocationMatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|js|css)$">
SetHandler None
</LocationMatch>
<Directory /var/www/myproject >
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
Options FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Step 4: modify this file /var/www/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py
cat /var/www/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py
import os
import time
import traceback
import signal
import sys
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
sys.path.append('/var/www/myproject')
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages')
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'CVE.settings')
try:
application = get_wsgi_application()
except Exception:
# Error loading applications
if 'mod_wsgi' in sys.modules:
traceback.print_exc()
os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGINT)
time.sleep(2.5)
Step 5: enable wsgi mod and enable site
sudo a2enmod wsgi
sudo a2ensite xxxx.com
