Hi, The apache or whatever the webserver you choose, should only serving static files, not .py files .
the / request to your webserver will be redirect to django process, whether it is uwsgi, or wsgi , or whatever service you choose to deploy. Django runs as application server actually. user -- web server ---- application server --- db server hope helps rgds, Mulianto On Sat, Sep 8, 2012 at 10:49 PM, Reginald Choudari < adnanchowdhur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I've just started working on deploying a Django hosted website on my VPS. > Last night I finished configuring mod_wsgi with apache2.2 and had got the > 'It works!' page running from my Django project.
