mod_wsgi

[Daniel Smith]

Has anyone successfully gotten Foreman to port to Apache using mod_wsgi? I have no idea what I'm doing there, and have tried following the instructions in the blog post, but Apache2 will not start when the virtual site is active.

If anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it.

I've gotten it figured out. I copied the root foreman folder into /var/www/html and ran run_foreman with the setup option. That copied all the files into /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Foreman_Forensics-0.0.1-py2.7.egg.

Something I've learned here... altering the contents of /var/www/html doesn't change what's delivered by Apache, but altering the contents of the Python library did deliver a difference.

My WSGI file is stored at /var/www/html (yes, the same location as run_foreman.py), and contains the following:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, site
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.dirname(__file__))

site.addsitedir('/var/www/html/foreman/')
config = '/var/www/html/foreman/config/config.ini'

sys.path.append(path.dirname(__file__))

def make_app():
    from foreman.utils.utils import setup
    setup(config)

    from foreman.application import make_app
    return make_app()

application = make_app()

My VirtualHost file, /etc/apache2/sites-available/foreman.conf is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName foreman

    WSGIDaemonProcess foreman user=www-data group=www-data processes=2 threads=5
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/foreman.wsgi

    <Directory /var/www/html>
    WSGIProcessGroup foreman
    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    Order deny, allow
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Finally, after doing an a2ensite foreman.conf, Apache restarted without an error.

I noticed that there was no "files" directory at usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Foreman_Forensics-0.0.1-py2.7.egg/foreman. I did a sudo cp -R /var/www/html/foreman/files usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Foreman_Forensics-0.0.1-py2.7.egg/foreman.

I then had to sudo chmod -R 777 usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Foreman_Forensics-0.0.1-py2.7.egg/foreman/files to give Apache permission to save documents in that location.

After setting up a local DNS record, I'm now good to go on my disconnected network.

Thank you!!
