Hey, I am currently looking at installing multiple instances of Django on a server to use Django as a teaching and learning tool.
What is the best way to go about this? I want to minimise the amount of storage needed and optimize the performance of the server. I have heard that modwsgi can be used to specify different ports for each instance. I was a little concerned about using the same db for all the students, as if they make a bogus query, update or insert on the db the whole db could be altered unfavourably. Could the script used in this post be used to create subdomains for the users? Has this script has been written for just one instance of django? Is the easiest way going to be to create a directory for each user where a new instance of django is installed? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
