This is in reply the request for Windows experience with "Running a Pyramid Application under mod_wsgi" that was made in http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/1.1/tutorials/modwsgi/index.html#modwsgi-tutorial .
I'm a newbie at Python, Pyramid, Apache and mod_wsgi, yet getting it all to work wasn't as difficult as I had feared. The final deployment steps on Windows turned out to be essentially the same as those in the tutorial above. Here's my setup and how I got to the end result: A Windows developmental environment for Apache is provided by WampServer: http://www.wampserver.com . A system-wide Python, plus the usual utilities virtualenv and simple_install, are installed in D:\PF\Python27\. For learning about, setting up and testing mod_wsgi with Apache, the documentation at http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/ proved to be clear, thorough and indispensable. Also valuable are the docs at the WSGI.org site. They contain tutorials that further explain and explore WSGI applications. Some simple tutorial scripts from WSGI.org were tested, initially using the wsgiref Python server, and later using Apache+mod_wsgi. Then, focus turned to learning Pyramid. See: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/1.1/index.html . Create a new Python environment called PyramidEnv. D:\P\ is my Python project sandbox. D: cd \P\ virtualenv --no-site-packages D:/P/PyramidEnv/ Activate this environment and install Pyramid in it: cd \P\PyramidEnv\ Scripts\activate easy_install pyramid Create and test the first non-trivial project, calling it MyProject: Scripts\paster create -t pyramid_starter MyProject cd MyProject ..\Scripts\python setup.py develop ..\Scripts\python setup.py test -q The test results returned an "OK", so paster's server was launched for a browser test: ..\Scripts\paster serve development.ini http://127.0.0.1:6543 displayed MyProject's welcome screen. A CTRL-C (or two) exited the server loop. To bring the system-wide Python back, deactivate the PyramidEnv with: deactivate Before continuing with the tutorial to enhance MyProject, test a deployment of it to Apache+mod wsgi: cd \P\PyramidEnv\ Create a WSGI script file in this directory, called RunMyProject, containing two lines: from pyramid.paster import get_app application = get_app('D:/P/PyramidEnv/MyProject/production.ini', 'main') Set up Apache's mod_wsgi in the header portion of its httpd.conf file: WSGIScriptAlias /PE/ D:/P/PyramidEnv/ WSGIPythonHome D:/P/PyramidEnv/ The trailing '/' on '/PE/' indicates that the name of the WSGI script to be executed will be specified in the requesting URL. And allow Apache to access D:/P/PyramidEnv/ with these commands, also in the header section of httpd.conf: <Directory D:/P/PyramidEnv/> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> http://127.0.0.1/PE/RunMyProject/ confirms that Apache+mog_wsgi serves up MyProject's welcome screen. ### -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
