[HCoop-Help] django server

[eyecreate at hcoop.net]

It seems it would be simpler to run a cgi script to run it according to the
django book I was reading. Is it possible to accomplish this?

Running Django on a Shared-Hosting Provider with Apache

Many shared-hosting providers don’t allow you to run your own server daemons
or edit the httpd.conf file. In these cases, it’s still possible to run
Django using Web server-spawned processes.

Note

If you’re using Web server-spawned processes, as explained in this section,
there’s no need for you to start the FastCGI server on your own. Apache will
spawn a number of processes, scaling as it needs to.

In your Web root directory, add this to a file named .htaccess

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

Then, create a small script that tells Apache how to spawn your FastCGI
program. Create a file, mysite.fcgi, and place it in your Web directory, and
be sure to make it executable

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os

# Add a custom Python path.
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/user/python")

# Switch to the directory of your project. (Optional.)

# os.chdir("/home/user/myproject")

# Set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "myproject.settings"

from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi

runfastcgi(method="threaded", daemonize="false")
