I am a django newbie having difficulty getting django operational on
my development box running on Apache, with mod_python. My Django test
case - the sitepoint.com tutorial:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/build-to-do-list-30-minutes/
- renders as HTML, but [Apache? Mod_python?] can not find the CSS
formatting code to render the pages as designed. See media directory
below.
I have not used mod_python before, but I did install it (see system
description below) and it did pass the basic test proposed by the
mod_python installer. See (**) below. So i know that it knows to use
mod_python to resolve all addresses ending in ".py". Also, Django
pages render as expected with the Django lightweight web server for
testing.
I am seem to be close to success. I am going to spend time with the
documentation today. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Douglas
a) HTTPD.conf location directive follows:
<Location "/gtd">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE gtd.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonOption django.root "/gtd"
PythonPath "sys.path+['C:/apps/myDjango']"
</Location>
b) System Set-up
Operating system: vista
dbase: mysql 5.0
server: localhost
webservice port: 81
Apache: v2.2
Python: v2.5
mod_python: v3.3.1
c) Directory python: C:\python25
d) Directory django: C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django
e) Directory Django sitepoint application: C:\apps\myDjango
f) Directory django media: C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/django/
contrib/admin/media
** mod_python installer test:
1) Add to HTTPD.conf:
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/
htdocs/test">
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
2) Create file with the following code:
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.content_type = 'text/plain'
req.write("Hello World!")
return apache.OK
3) request page: http://localhost:81/test/mptest.py
4) "mptest.py" file is located undeer "htdocs" (C:\Program Files
\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test), and my django
files are NOT. I assume that the django set-up creates a special
configuration requirement.
