Setting up mod_wsgi with Apache

Install apache and mod_wsgi for python 3

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

Copy conekt.template.wsgi to conekt.wsgi and add the correct paths.

WSGI_PATH = 'location of your app'
WSGI_ENV = 'location of activate_this.py, in the bin folder of the virtual environment'

When using the built-in venv module in Python 3.6 and up activate_this.py is no longer automatically included in the virtual environment and needs to be added manually. You can find it here

Configure apache, example below can be added to the default VirtualHost. A valid user (non-admin), usually www-data, is required for this:

# This part is optional, but will improve speed
Alias /conekt/static /path/to/conekt/static

<Directory /path/to/conekt/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

# Set up WSGI
WSGIDaemonProcess application user=user group=user threads=5
WSGIScriptAlias /conekt /path/to/conekt.wsgi

<Location /conekt>
    WSGIProcessGroup application
    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    Require all granted
</Location>
