Hi gang: As of today's commit 052735ae7b68ad0a60e6dbc0ce810a0abaab2df1, we are abandonning mod_python and switching to mod_wsgi. This is the first step in improving the scalability for bigger sites and/or for Day One launch type of user storms, as mused about at <https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CDS/InvenioScalability>. (I shall update this wiki page with the next steps.)
This means that you should beware when you will be updating your development installations from git/master sources: * You have to install mod_wsgi and you have to regenerate your Apache virtual host sites: $ sudo -u apache /opt/cds-invenio/bin/inveniocfg --create-apache-conf * Moreover, Python 2.4 is now required as minimal version. If you use Python 2.4, then you have also to install wsgiref module, see the INSTALL file. (If you use Python 2.5 or higher, then wsgiref is already included.) The WSGI handler was tested on several systems (Gentoo, Ubuntu, SLC5, MacOSX) but there may still be some glitches. So please test things out on your system and please holler if something is not right. Best regards -- Tibor Simko ** CERN Document Server ** <http://cds.cern.ch/>
