Just an update on progress so far.. With a server setup as:
mod_wsgi-express setup-server ndapps.wsgi --port=8001 --user apache --group apache --server-root=/etc/mod_wsgi-express-8001 --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Host --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Port --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-For --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Scheme --mount-point/ndapps Testing at http://lelrdaapps01.lehi.micron.com/ndapps/ and http://lelrdaapps01.lehi.micron.com:8001 yield 403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. And testing http://lelrdaapps01.lehi.micron.com/ndapps yields 404 error I verified /ndapps directory and everything below is 755 or 777 for permissions. Perhaps my page is trying to pass through this Apache section? Even if so, I should be already logged in. <Directory /var/www/html/> ##### LDAP Login ####################### AuthType Basic AuthName "ProbeEng Webserver: Enter Your Micron Username and Password" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap.city.micron.com/ou=mtworkers,o=micron.com?uid"; ##### Require Authentication Require valid-user Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> With server setup as mod_wsgi-express setup-server ndapps.wsgi --port=8001 --user apache --group apache --server-root=/etc/mod_wsgi-express-8001 --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Host --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Port --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-For --trust-proxy-header X-Forwarded-Scheme --document-root static --url-alias /ndapps/static /home/neild/public_html/ndapps/static --mount-point/ndapps Testing http://lelrdaapps01.lehi.micron.com/ndapps/ yields The requested URL / was not found on this server.

I did confirm that I am using the Flask helper functions as <form action="{{ url_for('display') }}" And <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}"> On my sub-URL mount point, the 'display' function is decorated by: @app.route('/display', methods=['POST', 'GET']) And I have imported each at the top: from flask import Flask, render_template, request, url_for, redirect Regarding the next point > When mounting at a sub URL, you may have have to be careful with the route > for the root of the site in Flask.

Adding "strict_slashes" setting as described at https://stackoverflow.com/a/42668371 app = Flask(__name__) app.url_map.strict_slashes = False 2. Logic to check URL from same link above @app.before_request def before_request(): if request.path == '': return redirect(url_for('index') 3. app.config['APPLICATION_ROOT'] = '/ndapps Next, I will work through implementing Blueprints and Middleware as described at https://stackoverflow.com/a/18967744 to always add the trailing slash. As to static files, what is hosting them? The backend mod_wsgi-express? If > yes, how? Yes, I believe so via the --document-root directive above. Is there a preferred way for me to confirm this? Also, would it be easier to create this as it's own site address instead of a sub URL mount? As ndapps.deptserver.city.micron.com for example. I hesitated on this one without knowing how the DNS is implemented at work and how the CNAME and A records would need to be defined.
