I have a django app which can run locally using the standard development environment. I want to now move this to EC2 for production. The django documentation suggests running with apache and mod_wsgi, and using nginx for loading static files.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on an Ec2 box. My Django app, "ddt", contains a subdirectory "apache" with ddt.wsgi
import os, sys
apache_configuration= os.path.dirname(__file__)
project = os.path.dirname(apache_configuration)
workspace = os.path.dirname(project)
sys.path.append(workspace)
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/')
sys.path.append('/home/jeffrey/www/ddt/')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'ddt.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
I have mod_wsgi installed from apt. My apache/httpd.conf contains
NameVirtualHost *:8080
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/apache/ddt.wsgi
WSGIPythonPath /home/jeffrey/www/ddt
<Directory /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/apache/>
<Files ddt.wsgi>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
Under apache2/sites-enabled
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName www.mysite.com
ServerAlias mysite.com
<Directory /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/apache/>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/logs/apache_error.log
CustomLog /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/logs/apache_access.log combined
WSGIDaemonProcess datadriventrading.com user=www-data group=www-data threads=25
WSGIProcessGroup datadriventrading.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/apache/ddt.wsgi
</VirtualHost>
If I am correct, these 3 files above should correctly allow my django app to run on port 8080.
I have the following nginx/proxy.conf file
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
Under nginx/sites-enabled
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com;
access_log /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/logs/nginx_access.log;
error_log /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/logs/nginx_error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
location /media/ {
root /home/jeffrey/www/ddt/;
}
}
If I am correct these two files should setup nginx to take requests on the HTTP port 80, but then direct requests to apache which is running the django app on port 8080. If i go to mysite.com, all I see is Welcome to Nginx!
Any advice for how to debug this?
