How to Install Apache WSGI with Turbo Gears

1. Install Apache2
   https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-16-04

2. In the server install mod WSGI

   Install APX sudo apt install apache2-dev

   To find new releases: https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/releases

   sudo apt-get install libtool    
   cd /tmp    
   wget https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/archive/4.5.15.tar.gz    
   tar xvzf 4.5.15.tar.gz    
   cd mod_wsgi-4.5.15/
   ./configure    
   make    
   sudo cp /tmp/mod_wsgi-4.5.15/src/server/.libs/mod_wsgi.so /usr/lib/apache2/modules/.   
   

3. Create a virtualenvironment with the specific TurboGears version your application depends on installed

   virtualenv /var/tg2env
   /var/tg2env/bin/pip install  tg.devtools
   

4. Activate the virtualenvironment

   source /var/tg2env/bin/activate
   (tg2env)$ #virtualenv now activated
   

5. Install your TurboGears application.

   cd /var/www/gpscontrol
   python setup.py develop
   

6. Within the application director, create a script named app.wsgi. Give it these contents:

   import os
   os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/home/jorge/.python-eggs'
   APP_CONFIG = "/var/www/gpscontrol/production.ini"
   import logging.config
   logging.config.fileConfig(APP_CONFIG)
   from paste.deploy import loadapp
   application = loadapp('config:%s' % APP_CONFIG)
   

7. Change permisions

   sudo usermod -g www-data jorge
   sudo mkdir  /home/jorge/.python-eggs/
   sudo chmod g-wx,o-wx ~/.python-eggs
   sudo chown www-data:www-data /home/jorge/.python-eggs/
   
   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
   sudo chmod go-rwx /var/www
   sudo chmod go+x /var/www
   sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www
   sudo chmod -R go-rwx /var/www
   sudo chmod -R g+rx /var/www
   sudo chmod -R g+rwx /var/www
   

8. Edit your Apache configuration and add some stuff.

   vim /etc/hosts
   

   Add The following line 138.68.26.230 venus.gpscontrol.com.mx

   cd /etc/apache2
   vim apache2.conf
   

   Add the Following line: ServerName venus.gpscontrol.com.mx

   cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
   rm *    
   sudo vim venus.gpscontrol.com.mx.conf
   

   Insert the following lines:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName venus.gpscontrol.com.mx
   
    WSGIProcessGroup venus.gpscontrol.com.mx
    WSGIDaemonProcess venus.gpscontrol.com.mx user=www-data group=www-data threads=4 python-path=/var/tg2env/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/gpscontrol/app.wsgi
    #Serve static files directly without TurboGears
    Alias /images /var/www/gpscontrol/gpscontrol/public/images
    Alias /css /var/www/gpscontrol/gpscontrol/public/css
    Alias /js /var/www/gpscontrol/gpscontrol/public/js
   
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
   

9. Start the Service

   sudo a2enmod wsgi  
   sudo service apache2 restart
   

10. Give access to users to /var/log/apache2

    adduser maria
    sudo usermod -aG sudo maria
    sudo usermod -aG adm maria
