Proxies with Apache and python ############################## :date: 2014-10-09 10:00:00 :tags: python, apache, proxy, gunicorn, uwsgi This is a quick note on proxying a local python application (e.g. flask) to a subdirectory in Apache. This assumes that the file wsgi.py contains a WSGI application with the name *application*. Hence, wsgi:application. Gunicorn -------- .. code-block:: apache ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8888/myapp/ ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8888/myapp/ RequestHeader set SCRIPT_NAME "/myapp/" **Important**: *SCRIPT\_NAME* and the end of *ProxyPass* URL **MUST BE THE SAME**. Otherwise, Gunicorn will fail miserably. Try it with: .. code-block:: bash venv/bin/gunicorn -w 4 -b 127.0.0.1:8888 --log-file - --access-logfile - wsgi:application UWSGI ----- This is a very simple configuration. I will try to upload one with more options for uwsgi (in a .ini file). .. code-block:: apache SetHandler uwsgi_handler uWSGISocker 127.0.0.1:8888 Try it with: .. code-block:: bash uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:8888 -w wsgi:application Extra: Supervisor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If everything went as expected, you can wrap your command in a supervisor config file and let it handle the server for you. .. code-block:: ini [unix_http_server] file=/tmp/myapp.sock ; path to your socket file [supervisord] logfile = %(here)s/logs/supervisor.log childlogdir = %(here)s/logs/ [rpcinterface:supervisor] supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface [supervisorctl] logfile = %(here)s/logs/supervisorctl.log serverurl=unix:///tmp/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL for a unix socket [program:myapp] command = venv/bin/gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 --log-file %(here)s/logs/gunicorn.log --access-logfile - wsgi:application directory = %(here)s environment = PATH=%(here)s/venv/bin/ logfile = %(here)s/logs/myapp.log
