On *nix, I typically create a separate user for each project, and store the Django code, media, templates, and WSGI handler file in there. Otherwise you can just create them in a single user's home. I would then take advantage of the sites-available / sites-enabled directory structure that is usually created by default inside /etc/apache2 to configure rules for each website. On Windows, I'd probably create C:\wwwroot (or something meaningful; IIS uses inetpub), then create a directory for each project in there. I would store the WSGI handler file inside the project directory. You need to ensure the Apache user has read rights to access that directory and its children. I'm not sure where Apache settings are stored or how they are structured though on Windows; easiest would probably be to store all Apache config inside apache2.conf. There is really no fixed structure necessary; apart from the directory structure inside the Django project directory, it doesn't matter where you put projects and the WSGI handler file. All mod_wsgi is is a connector that Apache calls on when the particular config rules are matched. mod_wsgi will then call load and execute the WSGI handler file, which will in turn fire up Django and process the request. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
