How to build mod_wsgi,web.py with httpd and python from source code

It is best to compile everything from source code.

Version usedPython: 2.7 (with shared library)httpd 2.2.17 (with shared DSO support)WSGI (integrating with httpd): mod_wsgi 3.3
Web framework: web.py 0.34

Compile Python for shared lib

./configure --prefix= --enable-shared

Set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that running "python" would find its shared lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${python-lib}:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Compile (apache) httpd Add DSO support
./configure --prefix= --enable--module=module_so



Compile mod_wsgi
./configure --with-apxs=$APACHE_HOME/bin/apxs --with-python=$PYTHON_BIN/python

Configure httpd.conf for mod_wsgi

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

WSGIScriptAlias /wsgi/ /u/local/www/wsgi-scripts/

WSGIApplicationGroup admin-scripts

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

WSGIProcessGroup example1.com

WSGIDaemonProcess example1.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=example1.com

Install a sample python code under /u/local/www/wsgi-scripts/sniff

import sys

def application(environ, start_response):

status = '200 OK'

output = 'sys.version= %s\nsys.prefix=%s\n' % (sys.version, sys.prefix)

output += 'sys.path= %s\n' % (sys.path)

response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),

('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]

start_response(status, response_headers)

return [output]
