Comment (by grahamd):
Presuming there is a corresponding Django application running in same
process/sub interpreter, a better way is have all the following in single
WSGI script file:
{{{
import sys
sys.path.append(...)
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
import django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi
def check_password(environ, user, password):
return django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi.check_password(environ,
user, password)
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
}}}
That is, no need to actually have multiple script files. Apache
configuration would then be:
{{{
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Top Secret"
AuthBasicProvider wsgi
Require valid-user
WSGIProcessGroup %{GLOBAL}
WSGIApplicationGroup django
WSGIAuthUserScript /usr/local/django/mysite/apache/django.wsgi
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/django/mysite/apache/django.wsgi
}}}
The WSGIProcessGroup/WSGIApplicationGroup are to ensure both are executed
in same sub interpreter as by default authentication handler will execute
in %{GLOBAL} application group where as Django will be in group named
based on virtual host ServerName and application mount point.
