Re: Configure web2py to run behind apache with WSGI (mod_wsgi)

In case of Debian apache username is www-data not apache.

means:

chown -R www-data:web2py /var/www/web2py

I think this also is true for later ubuntu dists.

Any news (although the post seems pretty old)? I'm very interested in that (I'm going through the same kind of experience, with MSI)?

Hey jdoe.
Can we also exclude the application name from the url? Because when you start visiting the links in a site it reveals the application's name. For example let's say we have a "links" category. When we visit it, it reveals www.primo.it/primo/links. It would be better if we could just have wwww.primo.it/links

Thanks Haro, I've updated the post.

Thank you VERY much for this guide! It really helped!

*a minor fix*
[NC, OR] must be [NC,OR] (without the space) otherwise you get a "bad flag delimiters" error.

But what happens when you are on a shared hosting environment? (I am trying for the past two days to write a full tutorial on how to install and setup web2py on shared hosting accounts. IF I ever gather all the info, you'll get a HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks-and a link of course).

Thanks again for all the help (I can't believe it's THAT difficult to run web2py on shared account)

look at the previous post http://jdoe.asidev.com/2009/02...
You need a WSGIScriptAlias or ScriptAlias for this to work

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

Jon — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:31:46 -0000

So, what has to be added to your code to make it ok? I don't think removing [PT] solves the problem :)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.primo.it [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =primo.it [NC]
RewriteRule /primo/(.*) /$1 [N]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.primo.it [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =primo.it [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /primo/$1 [PT,L]

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

jdoe — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:20:36 -0000

sorry, I didn't notice the space between flags :)

looking at your .htaccess you are using PT flag but you don't have a Alias/ScriptAlias/WSGIScriptAlias so, yes, I think it's ignoring the rewrite rule
Look here for more info on PT flag: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2...

After a lot of fiddling around and posting around the internet:
http://stackoverflow.com/quest...
http://serverfault.com/questio...

I think that the problem is the added space between parameters (like [NC, OR]).
Now, it doesn't throw an error but when I am hitting the domain, it redirects to http://mydomain.com/welcome/de... (is it ignoring it?)

Jon — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:20:49 -0000

Thanks a lot for your help. I am writing it on linux. I am googling and I've even added a question at stackoverflow and serverfault.com. It's definitely something wrong with my spaces :)
Thank again!

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

jdoe — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:03:37 -0000

could be that you have a non-unix line feed. If the server is linux and you use windows please use a text-editor that permit you to set the line feeds type.
Or could be a space left in the rewrite cond.
Sorry, just guessing here... try google for the error and see what happens.

RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ – [L]
seems to work
but I get 'RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters' from the RewriteCond

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

jdoe — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:00:39 -0000

seems ok, but are you sure RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ – [L] is correct?

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

Jon — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 04:34:44 -0000

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com [NC, OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule /mydomain/(.*) /$1 [N]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com [NC, OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /mydomain/$1 [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [L]

This is the whole .htaccess

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

jdoe — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:16:27 -0000

can you post the rewrite rule?

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

Thanks for your reply! I am getting:
RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters

Re: web2py behind apache with mod_wsgi part II: mod_rewrite rules

jdoe — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:16:58 -0000

watch the apache error_log, you'll find an explanation of the problem. Can be permission-related, some misconfiguration or something not considered when I was writing this tutorial :)
and, yes, set the RewriteLog and watch what's happening there too..

Thanks for this nice tutorial! I tried the .htaccess but I got a 500 error.
Any ideas?
