The Lan team has been struggling to install mod_wsgi through the traditional approach without much luck in getting Apache to fire off django, so I was looking for an alternative.
The mod-express was very simple to install and configure and got it to work easily as a stand alone. I was trying to provide the Lan team with a solution to a problem that they have not been able to resolve. If the express implementation does not provide 2 tiers and good performance minimum requirements, then it will not meet our requirements. The link below implies that express can be configured through a traditional apache 2 tier server approach. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26766141/hosting-multiple-django-sites-with-mod-wsgi-express-apache Is that correct, can a 2 tier apache be configured to utilize the mod_wsgi express command?
