Redirect requests to Django application using Apache - php

Question

I have an Apache web-server and a PHP application. It all works great. The httpd.conf file at this moment looks like so:
...
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
...
Listen 8080
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache242/htdocs"
<Directory "c:/Apache242/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
As you can see, I've already downloaded mod_wsgi.so and when I restart Apache it's all ok. So, when I go to localhost:8080, I see my PHP application running. Well done. Now, I have a second teene-weeny Django application. It's not even a full-blown application, because it's role will be to answer to one certain request from the same PHP application. Still, I will call it Django application. I run it like so:
C:\django\project> python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8081
As you can see I run a non-production server, but it works good. When I go to 127.0.0.1:8081, I see the result returned from my index view:
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, world")
So, it's just a simple Hello world page and it works. Now what I want is to use Apache server, so that when I go to localhost:8080/django, I would see the very same Hello world page. I do not know how to implement this. Many solutions are based on virtual hosts, but I do not want to configure them (just because virtual hosts do not work in my situation). So if you have any suggestions, you are welcome. Thanks!
EDIT
I managed to create a virtual host for my PHP application. So, the httpd-vhosts.conf file looks like so:
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache242/htdocs"
<Directory c:/Apache242/htdocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
Now I wonder, how I should configure it to redirect requests from localhost:8080/django to my Django application.
EDIT
It seems like I tried everything in the world. Now I've just tried to create one and only one virtual host just to service my Django project and I failed. Here are some prerequisites that I have:
Python 2.7.12, MSC 1500 32bit on win32.
Apache/2.4.23 (Win64), VC10
mod_wsgi-py27-VC9.so for Apache24-win64-VC10
And this is how my virtual host file looks like now:
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache242/htdocs/django"
ServerName localhost
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/Apache242/htdocs/django/accent/wsgi.py"
<Directory "C:/Apache242/htdocs/django/accent">
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
When I reload Apache, I see it's all ok. Great. But when I go to localhost:8080, I get "Internal Server Error". And this is the whole stack trace from Apache error log:

I do not know what is wrong with that.
EDIT
This is what I have in settings.py:
DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost']
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True
INTERNAL_IPS = ('127.0.0.1',)
EDIT
It seems like I tried dozens of virtual host configurations, but none of them works. This is the last configuration, that I tried:
Listen 8080
WSGIPythonPath C:/Apache242/htdocs/django
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache242/htdocs/django"
ServerName localhost
WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Apache242/htdocs/django/accent/wsgi.py
<Directory C:/Apache242/htdocs/django/accent>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>
Apache restarts well, but when I go to localhost:8080, I still see the very same Internal Server Error. So, I guess my question now should be - does anybody use Apache with Django?
EDIT
Now I start to believe that it's all because of wsgi.py file. In my case it looks like:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "accent.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
But I do not know how to fix it. PS. I do not have virtual environment for Python, I just installed it globally.

Answer 1

You can try an htaccess file in root php directory, i'm not sure but you something like :
Options -Indexes
Options -Multiviews
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/django(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8081$1 [L,QSA]
