# 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`. | |||
|
|||
* .htaccess configuration | |||
|
|||
Options +ExecCGI | |||
AddHandler cgi-script .py | |||
DirectoryIndex index.py | |||
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> | |||
RewriteEngine on | |||
RewriteBase / | |||
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f | |||
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d | |||
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico$ | |||
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/.*)+index.py/ | |||
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.py/$1 [PT] | |||
</IfModule> | |||
|
|||
Here it is assumed that your application is called index.py. The above htaccess checks if some static file/directory exists failing which it routes the data to your index.py. Change the Rewrite Base to a sub-directory if needed. |
