I have a Django project that I need mounted at two different subdirectories of my url, and I need Wordpress running at /. So:
*.example.com - WordPress
*.example.com/studio - django
*.example.com/accounts - django
Here's the httpd.conf that I have so far:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wildcard.localhost
ServerAlias *.localhost
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DocumentRoot /var/empty
Alias /site_media/ /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/static/
Alias /media/ /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
Alias / /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/wordpress/
WSGIScriptAlias /accounts /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app/privio.wsgi
WSGIScriptAlias /studio /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app/privio.wsgi
<Directory /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/wordpress>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Before I added the config for WordPress, the Django app was working fine. But with this new setup I am able to see the WordPress install at /, but the Django app isn't getting served. I'm sort of a noob at Apache config - what am I missing?
Replace:
DocumentRoot /var/empty
with:
DocumentRoot /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/wordpress
Remove:
Alias / /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/wordpress/
Replace:
WSGIScriptAlias /accounts /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app/privio.wsgi
WSGIScriptAlias /studio /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app/privio.wsgi
with:
WSGIScriptAliasMatch ^(/(accounts|studio)) /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/app/privio.wsgi$1
In other words, use DocumentRoot to refer to wordpress that needs to be at root of site and not Alias directive.
The WSGIScriptAliasMatch is so Django itself thinks it is still mounted at root site even though only nominated sub URLs of it are actually passed through. This simplifies things for urls.py.
Note that the $1 at end of WSGI script path is important, so don't leave it off.
Paging Graham Dumpleton :)
I'd venture a guess that the line
Alias / /home/zach/projects/python/myproject/wordpress/
overrides everything below it. Therefore any requests to /accounts
will be processed by the wordpress application rather than by the Django application.
From the documentation:
Mounting At Root Of Site
If instead you want to mount a WSGI application at the root of a site, simply list '/' as the mount point when configuring the WSGIScriptAlias directive.
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts/myapp.wsgi
Do note however that doing so will mean that any static files contained in the DocumentRoot will be hidden and requests against URLs pertaining to the static files will instead be processed by the WSGI application.
