Single django instance with subdomains for each app in the django project
- by jwesonga
I have a django project (django+apache+mod_wsgi+nginx) with multiple apps, I'd like to map each app as a subdomain:
project/
app1 (domain.com)
app2 (sub1.domain.com)
app3 (sub3.domain.com)
I have a single .wsgi script serving the project, which is stored in a folder /apache. Below is my vhost file. I'm using a single vhost file instead of separate ones for each sub-domain:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/path/to/app/
Alias /admin_media/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media
<Directory /home/path/to/wsgi/apache/>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/path/to/logs/apache_error.log
CustomLog /home/path/to/logs/apache_access.log combined
WSGIDaemonProcess domain.com user=www-data group=www-data threads=25
WSGIProcessGroup domain.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/path/to/apache/kcdf.wsgi
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8081>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName sub1.domain.com
ServerAlias sub1.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/path/to/app
Alias /admin_media/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media
<Directory /home/path/to/wsgi/apache/>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/path/to/logs/apache_error.log
CustomLog /home/path/to/logs/apache_access.log combined
WSGIDaemonProcess sub1.domain.com user=www-data group=www-data threads=25
WSGIProcessGroup sub1.domain.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/path/to/apache/kcdf.wsgi
</VirtualHost>
My Nginx configuration for the domain.com:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
access_log off;
error_log off;
# proxy to Apache 2 and mod_wsgi
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
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;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
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;
}
}
Configuration for the sub.domain.com:
server {
listen 80;
server_name sub.domain.com;
access_log off;
error_log off;
# proxy to Apache 2 and mod_wsgi
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/;
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;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
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;
}
}
This set up doesn't seem to work, everything seems to point to the main domain. I've tried http://effbot.org/zone/django-multihost.htm which kind of worked but seems to have issues with loading my css,images,js files.
