My general rule on this these days is that I will assist the actual
host admins if they want to come over to the Apache/mod_wsgi mailing
list, but I will not just try and explain it to a client who in turn
then tries to direct the host admins. This is because the setup has to
be done properly, potentially customised to the specific Apache
installation, and the host admins need to understand how it all works
to ensure they don't end up compromising their systems by doing
something incorrectly. There would be too much risk in them stuffing
up the security of their system if relying on second hand information.
