Django with Apache and mod_wsgi on Windows XP

This is another tutorial that how did I transfer from using mod_python to mod_wsgi.

1. Get mod_wsgi, you need to have correct version for your Apache and python, in my case, it is:

   mod_wsgi-2.3 - Apache 2.2 / Python 2.5

   Put the downloaded module into "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\modules."
2. Add following directive into Apache configureation file ("C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf"):

   LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
   
   WSGIScriptAlias / "D:/django/mysite/apache/django.wsgi"
   
   <directory "D:/django/mysite">
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
   </directory>
   <directory "D:/django/mysite/apache>
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
   </directory>

3. Create the file you specified at WSGIScriptAlias above with content:

   import os, sys
   
   sys.path.append('D:/django')
   os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
   
   import django.core.handlers.wsgi
   application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

4. Open http://127.0.0.1.

It worked!
Congratulations on your first Django-powered page.
