CGI deployment on Apache

CGI deployment on Apache

Here are the simple steps needed to create and run an web.py application.

  • Install web.py and flups

  • Create the application as documented

      if __name__ == "__main__":
      web.run(urls, globals())

For our example, let it be named app.py, located in /www/app and we need it accessible as http://server/app/app.py.

  • Configure Apache (version 2.2 in this example)

      ScriptAlias /app "/www/app/"
  <Directory "/www/app/">
          Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
  </Directory>

That's it. Your application is accessible via http://server/app/app.py/. Additional URLs handled by the application are added to the end of the URL, for examples http://server/app/app.py/myurl.
