Apache

Installation of Apache TBD (here rather than 2. installation of packages y tal y tal..?)

In order to install the Apache web server, use the YUM package manager:

yum install httpd httpd-devel

(NOTE: httpd-devel may be needed for python module 'mod_wgsi')

Configuration of Apache

Check wsgi installation and Apache configuration.

## Checks good installation
mod_wsgi-express start-server
## This command outputs configuration line for module loading in system Apache.
mod_wsgi-express module-config

Edit Apache configuration file:

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Append the following information at the bottom of the LoadModule block:

Load wsgi module with library associated in virtualenv

LoadModule wsgi_module "/srv/iSkyLIMS/virtualenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py36.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Django iSkyLIMS site configuration

Socket prefix for socket file storage (permissions issues in Linux)

WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi

Path to serve your app at and wsgi script path

WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/iSkyLIMS/iSkyLIMS/wsgi.py

Path to virtualenv

WSGIPythonHome /srv/iSkyLIMS/virtualenv

Ensures your project package is available for import on the Python Path.

WSGIPythonPath /srv/iSkyLIMS

Directory piece. This ensures that apache can access wsgi.py script.

<Directory /srv/iSkyLIMS/iSkyLIMS> ## This lines work for Apache 2.2 version. For 2.4 this sintaxix changes. Satisfy Any Allow from all

Lines for serving static files (This could be done with nginx instead of Apache)

Alias /static /srv/iSkyLIMS/static <Directory /srv/iSkyLIMS/static>

This lines work for Apache 2.2 version. For 2.4 this sintaxis changes.

Satisfy Any Allow from all Alias /documents /srv/iSkyLIMS/documents <Directory /srv/iSkyLIMS/documents>

This lines work for Apache 2.2 version. For 2.4 this sintaxis changes.

Satisfy Any Allow from all

Start the httpd server:

service httpd start

Remark: SELINUX must be ‘disabled’
