If I have a Django app in /home/grisha/mysite, then all I should need to do to run it under Apache is:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

$ mod_python create /home/grisha/mysite_httpd \
    --listen=8888 \
    --pythonpath=/home/grisha/mysite \
    --pythonhandler=mod_python.wsgi \
    --pythonoption="mod_python.wsgi.application mysite.wsgi::application"

$ mod_python start /home/grisha/mysite_httpd/conf/httpd.conf

That’s all. There should be no need to become root, tweak various configurations, place files in the right place, check permissions, none of that.

Well… With mod_python 3.4.0 (alpha) that’s exactly how it is…

Please help me test it.
