How do I run Django and PHP together on one Apache server? - php

Question

I can currently run either Django through mod_wsgi or PHP on my Apache server.
My Django projects run at: http://localhost and source is at C:/django_proj
My PHP projects run at: http://php.localhost and source is at C:/web
If I turn both on, php.localhost and localhost go to the Django project. I've already set them up through Apache virtual hosts.
Here are some relevant lines in httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot "C:/web"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/web">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/django_proj">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Include "C:/django_proj/apache/apache_django_wsgi.conf"
The relevant lines in apache_django_wsgi.conf is:
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/django_proj/apache/proj.wsgi"
<Directory "C:/django_proj/apache">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Inside httpd-vhosts.conf:
<Directory C:/web>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory C:/django_proj>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/django_proj"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/web"
ServerName php.localhost
</VirtualHost>
My PHP project is current inaccessible. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?

Answer 1

I run dozens of mod_wsgi/Django sites, PHP sites, and a Rails site with a single Apache.
It's mostly done using virtual hosts but I have some that are running both on the same domain.
You just need to put your WSGIScriptAlias /... after any other Location/Alias directives.
Lets say, for example, I want to run phpMyAdmin on the same domain as a Django site. The config would look something like this:
Alias /phpmyadmin /full/path/to/phpmyadmin/
<Directory /full/path/to/phpmyadmin>
Options -Indexes
...etc...
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /full/path/to/django/project/app.wsgi
<Directory /full/path/to/django/project>
Options +ExecCGI
...etc...
</Directory>
Edit:
Your configuration should look something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/django_proj"
ServerName localhost
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/django_proj/apache/proj.wsgi"
<Directory "C:/django_proj/apache">
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/web"
ServerName php.localhost
Alias / C:/web
<Directory C:/web>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
You don't need those <Directory> directives in http.conf... do all your configuration in the Virtual hosts.
Also, completely get rid of the <Directory /> block.

Answer 2

Your WSGIScriptAlias / ... directive is telling Apache that everything request starting with "/" should get fed through Django's WSGI handler. If you changed that to read WSGIScriptAlias /django-proj/ ... instead, only requests starting with "/django-proj" would get passed into Django.
An alternative would be to start setting up virtual hosts for each project. This way you could configure Apache to put each project at the / of it's own domain, and you wouldn't need to worry about the configuration for one project affecting one of your other projects.

Answer 3

I had the same problem.
Try removing this block <Directory /> in httpd-conf.
Include httpd-vhost.conf and and try puting my WSGIScriptAlias / "/somewhere/file.wsgi" in virtual host section of httpd-vhosts which listens to port 80.

Answer 4

I would like to add that if you are using Apache ProxyPass, it's possible to deny certain URL patterns so that it falls to mod_php.
ProxyPass /wordpress !
<Location /wordpress>
Require all granted
</Location>
