Setting up Mako with Cherrypy on nginx through FastCGI
- by xuniluser
I'm trying to use TemplateLookup from Mako, but can't seem to get it to work.
Layout of the test site is:
/var/www
main.py
templates/
index.html
Nginx's config is setup as:
location / {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_pass_header Authorization;
fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
}
Cherrypy's config has:
[global]
server.socket_port = 8080
server.thread_pool = 10
engine.autoreload_on = False
tools.sessions.on = True
A simple cherrypy setup in main.py seems to work fine.
import cherrypy
class Main:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
return 'Hello'
cherrypy.tree.mount(Main(), '/', config='config')
Now, if I modify this to use Mako's template lookup, I get a 500 error. I know it has something to do with serving static files, but I've tried over a dozen different configurations accoring to the cherrypy wiki, but none of them work.
Here's a bare setup I have for the templates:
import cherrypy
from mako.template import Template
from mako.lookup import TemplateLookup
templates = TemplateLookup(directories=['templates'], output_encoding='utf-8')
class Main:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
return templates.get_template('index.html').render(msg='hello')
cherrypy.tree.mount(Main(), '/', config='config')
Does anyone know how I can get this to work ?
