- MOD_WSGI_

Build and Install
=================

- Download ``mod_wsgi-2.0.tar`` from http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/.
- Make sure python, python development packages, gcc, make and ``apxs``
  (or ``apxs2``) are installed.  To install on debian:

  ::

    apt-get install gcc g++
    apt-get install make
    apt-get install python-dev
    apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev

- Unzip and configure

  ::

    tar xf ../download/python/mod_wsgi-2.0.tar
    ./configure

- Compile

  ::

    make

- Install

  ::

    make install

  On my debian system it says, *Libraries have been installed in*:
  ``/usr/lib/apache2/modules``

Configure
=========

- To ``/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`` add:

  ::

    LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so

- Re-start apache and check the error log (``/var/log/apache2/error.log``),
  you should see a line of the form:

  ::

    Apache/2.2.2 (Unix) mod_wsgi/1.0 Python/2.3.5 configured

Test
====

- `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`_
- `/home/repository/wsgi/test/test.wsgi`_
- Browse to http://servername/test/wsgi to test the WSGI installation...
