Using Apache Server with Turbo Gears - jordy33/turbogears_tutorial GitHub Wiki

0. Install enchant:

    sudo apt-get install libenchant1c2a
    sudo apt-get install myspell-es
    pip install pyenchant
    python
    >>> import enchant
    >>> d=enchant.Dict("es")
    >>> d.check("Hola")
    True
    >>> d.check("Hello")
    False

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

2. In the server install mod WSGI

   Python 3

   sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
   sudo apt install apache2-dev 
   

   Compile mod_wsgi

   sudo apt-get install libtool    
   cd /tmp    
   wget https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/archive/4.6.4.tar.gz
   tar xvzf 4.6.4.tar.gz 
   cd mod_wsgi-4.6.4/
   ./configure    
   make    
   sudo cp /tmp/mod_wsgi-4.6.4/src/server/.libs/mod_wsgi.so /usr/lib/apache2/modules/.
   sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
   

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

   sudo -i
   virtualenv -p python3 /var/tg2env
   source /var/tg2env/bin/activate
   pip install  tg.devtools
   

4. Activate the virtualenvironment

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

5. Install your TurboGears application.

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

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

   import os
   
   APP_CONFIG = "/var/www/python.mercury/production.ini"
   
   #Setup logging
   import logging.config
   logging.config.fileConfig(APP_CONFIG)
   
   #Load the application
   from paste.deploy import loadapp
   application = loadapp('config:%s' % APP_CONFIG)
   

7. Change permisions

   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
   
   #### IMPORTANT!!
   
   sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/jorge/.python-eggs
   sudo chown www-data:www-data /home/jorge/.python-eggs
   
   

8. Edit your Apache configuration and add some stuff. Disable current service:

   a2dissite 000-default
   service apache2 reload
   cd /etc/apache2
   vim ports.conf
   # Change to port 8090
   /etc/apache2/sites-available    
   sudo vim cygnus.conf
   

9. Insert the following lines:

   <VirtualHost *:8090>
   ServerName cygnus
   WSGIProcessGroup cygnus
   WSGIDaemonProcess cygnus user=www-data group=www-data threads=4 python-path=/var/tg2env/lib/python3.5/sitepackages
   WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/python.cygnus/app.wsgi
   #Serve static files directly without TurboGears
   Alias /images /var/www/python.cygnus/pythoncygnus/public/images
   Alias /css /var/www/python.cygnus/pythoncygnus/public/css
   Alias /js /var/www/python.cygnus/pythoncygnus/public/js
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   WSGIPythonHome /var/tg2env
   WSGIPythonPath /var/tg2env/lib/python3.5
   

10. Start the Service: Enable WSGI

    a2enmod wsgi
    

    To enable site

    a2ensite cygnus
    

    To activate the new configuration, you need to run:

    service apache2 reload
    

    (After this will appear in "sites-enabled")

    sudo service apache2 restart
    

11. Checking service:

    apache2ctl configtest
    tail -10 /var/log/apache2/error.log
    sudo vim /home/terowsgi/grouped/python.cygnus
    sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/cygnus.conf
    source /home/terowsgi/grouped/tg2env/bin/activate
    sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/cygnus.conf
    sudo vim /var/www/cygnus/app.wsgi
    sudo service apache2 reload
    sudo a2ensite cygnus
    sudo a2dissite cygnus 
    sudo service apache2 start
    sudo vim /home/terowsgi/grouped/python.cygnus/production.ini
    

conda create -n tgenv python=3.6
source activate tg2env
source deactivate
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
pip install tg.devtools mysqlclient

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 
$ sudo a2enmod wsgi
$ sudo service apache2 restart
$ sudo a2dissite 000-default
$ sudo service apache2 restart

WSGI

First, add yourself into the group www-data

usermod -a -G www-data (your username)
Then:

chgrp www-data /home/myuser/folderA
chmod g+rwxs /home/myuser/folderA
Should do the trick unless the permissions on your /home/myuser do not permit other users access.
Another way is to change the username directly in apache config, this is if it's your local machine and you save images from somewhere else that would crush any permissions made on the folder. Also to do if you have only 1 user and don't care about www-data!

$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Find User and Group and put yours
User <Your User>
Group <Your Group>

$ sudo service apache2 restart

sudo chgrp www-data /home/ubuntu/public_wsgi/
sudo chmod g+rwxs /home/ubuntu/public_wsgi/```
