Django apache + mod_wsgi with virtualenv
- by ArgsKwargs
I have some questions running multiple Django sites on a VPS
I have a server that uses openPanel to automatically create VirtualHosts within apache2.
My ideal situation is that I would have multiple virtualenvs with different dependencies installed so the python dist-packages directory isn't contaminated for different Django sites.
For example:
/home/user/virtualenv1
/home/user/virtualenv2
My django applications reside at /var/www, so
For example:
/var/www/djangosite1
/var/www/djangosite2
Now I've read upon openPanel docs and figured out the best thing todo is create a django.conf file inside the mydomain.com.inc folder, which looks something like:
/etc/apache2/openpanel.d/mydomain.com.inc/django.conf
DocumentRoot /var/www/djangosite1/project
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/djangosite1/project/wsgi.py
WSGIDaemonProcess mydomain python-path=/home/user/virtualenv1/lib/python2.6/site-packages
<Directory /var/www/djangosite1/project>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /static /var/www/djangosite1/project/static-root
Now my problem is that this setup seems unable to find the virtualenv site-packages thus not recognizing any dependencies available in the given virtualenv
Also, commenting out this line doesn't seem to break or change a thing:
WSGIDaemonProcess mydomain python-path=/home/user/virtualenv1/lib/python2.6/site-packages
For example:
> service apache2 start
ImportError: No module named South
When I install South outside the virtualenv everything works
