I have problems getting mod_wsgi to run in daemon mode on my Debian / Apache 2.2.16 / Python 2.6.6 / mod_wsgi 3.3 / Django 1.3 setup. Everything works OK in embedded mode, but when I try to switch to daemon mode like described in so many HOWTO's, it is simply not activated (environ['mod_wsgi.process_group'] always returns the empty string, but no errors are output).
Furthermore, setting the python path with neither the WSGIPythonPath directive nor the python-path option for WSGIDaemonProcess seems to work - outputting sys.path in the wsgi script always returns the original system python path.
I read up on configuring and debugging mod_wsgi, but I just seem stuck here so any help would be appreciated!
In my virtual host config file I have
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.com WSGIDaemonProcess mysite.com processes=2 threads=15 WSGIProcessGroup mysite.com WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite/wsgi/django.wsgi <Directory /path/to/mysite/wsgi/> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> set up. To test activation of daemon mode, I use this wsgi script:
import sys import os os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mysite.settings') def application(environ, start_response): print >> sys.stderr, 'mod_wsgi.process_group = %s' % repr(environ['mod_wsgi.process_group']) from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler _application = WSGIHandler() return _application(environ, start_response) and the resulting log file always says:
mod_wsgi.process_group = '' which, accroding to the documentation, indicates that daemon mode is not being used. I checked my setup multiple times, the versions of Apache, mod_wsgi and Python are matching and my setup is correct according to all the HOWTO's I've read out there. What could I be missing?
