When that documentation was written, apache/mod_wsgi was likely the best, easiest, and most stable option. That combination still works today and many people use it successfully. To that extent, it is a good choice. However, I am saying it is not the best choice anymore -- at least not for people who are just getting started and/or people who lack prior apache experience. In this case I would recommend nginx or lighttpd or cherokee for the web server and gunicorn or uwsgi for the application server. By this time they are stable, and they are faster and easier than apache/mod_wsgi. I wrote more about this in a reply to this thread where I changed the subject to "Web Servers for Django Projects". If I recall correctly, I have heard some of the core devs mention updating the docs to include some of these other options. I wonder if anyone has submitted a patch for those doc updates. If not, maybe I've found my weekend project. A final thought that I did not consider until just now -- cross- platform compatibility might be a factor. I use linux for everything, so that's all I care about. To be frank I have no idea whether nginx / lighttpd / cherokee / gunicorn / uwsgi run on Windows or Mac. If they do not then that can tend to complicate the docs somewhat. --Stuart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
