Webpy + Apache with mod_wsgi

The following steps were tested on Apache-2.2.3 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, x86_64), mod_wsgi-2.0.

Note:

You may replace 'appname' with your own project name.
You may replace code.py with your own file name.
/var/www/webpy-app found below refers to the path to the directory contains your code.py
/var/www/webpy-app/code.py is the full path to your python file

Steps:

Download and install mod_wsgi from its website: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/. It will install a '.so' module in Apache module directory. e.g.
```
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/
```

Configure Apache to load mod_wsgi module and your project in httpd.conf:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

WSGIScriptAlias /appname /var/www/webpy-app/code.py/

Alias /appname/static /var/www/webpy-app/static
AddType text/html .py

<Directory /var/www/webpy-app/>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Sample file 'code.py':

import web

urls = (
    '/(.*)', 'hello',
    )

class hello:
    def GET(self, name):
        return name

application = web.application(urls, globals()).wsgifunc()

Point your browser to 'http://your_server_name/appname' to verify whether it works for you.
