Thank you Graham for your response. Always helpful.
>From my virtualenv I can run mod_wsgi-express start-server, and see malt
whiskey at localhost:8000.
My goal would be to just have the mod run when apache starts, so the box
can stay running, and folks can access the Django website when they need to
(although it's only for local access, and we're behind a firewall and only
using http).
So I'm thinking the manually configured apache approach is what I need to
do. I tried elevating to root and running mod_wsgi-express install-module:
(myenv) [root@localhost bin]# ./mod_wsgi-express install-module
LoadModule wsgi_module "/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/
mod_wsgi-py39.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
On fedora34, that copes the library to:
/etc/httpd/modules
In fedora34 I have httpd directories (all under root ownership):
/etc/httpd/conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d
/etc/httpd/logs
/etc/httpd/modules
/etc/httpd/run
/etc/httpd/state
I'm confused about where to place the config file(s) which contains the
httpd directives such as LoadModule wsgi_module, WSGIPythonHome,
WSGIDaemonProcess, etc. as well as directory permissions and any virtual
host setup.
On fedora34:
/etc/httpd/conf/ contains the general httpd.conf file
/etc/httpd/conf.d is for individual app config files? ex. mod_dnssd.conf,
php.conf etc.
"The directory is used in addition to the directory
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/, which contains
configuration files necessary to load modules."
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d is for two-digit, numbered .conf files, ex.
10-mod_dnssd.conf, etc.
"This directory contains configuration fragments necessary only to
load modules.
Administrators should use the directory "/etc/httpd/conf.d" to modify
the configuration of httpd, or any modules."
vhosts seems to be in a weird place on Fedora (also under root ownership):
/usr/share/doc/httpd/httpd-vhosts.conf

Bob
