==========================================
Jam.py deployment with Apache and mod_wsgi
==========================================
Once you’ve got ``mod_wsgi`` installed and activated, edit your Apache server’s
httpd.conf file and add the following. If you are using a version of Apache older
than 2.4, replace **Require all granted** with **Allow from all** and also add
the line **Order deny,allow** above it.
.. code-block:: apache
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com
Require all granted
Alias /static/ /path/to/mysite.com/static/
Require all granted
The first bit in the ``WSGIScriptAlias`` line is the base URL path you want to
serve your application at (``/`` indicates the root url), and the second is the
location of a "WSGI file" -- see below -- on your system, usually inside of
your project package (``mysite`` in this example). This tells Apache to serve
any request below the given URL using the WSGI application defined in that
file.
The ``WSGIPythonPath`` line ensures that your project package is available for
import on the Python path; in other words, that ``import mysite`` works.
The ```` piece just ensures that Apache can access your
:file:`wsgi.py` file.
The next lines ensure that anything in the ``/static/`` URL space is explicitly
served as a static files.
