To solve my problem the I could not get NON https to work in web2py
with Apache 2.2 On Windows VISTA Enterprise:
In httpd.conf, I had to add another <Virtual Host> entry, copied
mostly from the given :443 entry, but for port 8080:
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
:
:
I had to use port 8080 because for some reason the Apache Service
fails to start if I try to use port 80,
possibly a conflict with the installation of IIS 7, even though I have
set the IIS 7 service to be Disabled.
There is also a typo in the web2py book (unwanted quotes around "%r")
It should be:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t %r %>s %b" common
Another Gotcha:
web2py book deployment chapter has broken a link to wsgi mod
I downloaded mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py27-3.3.so from
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DownloadTheSoftware?tm=2
NOTE This is only for 32 bit python and 32 bit Apache. For 64
bit you must build or pay
Instruction for installing mod_wsgi are here
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnWindows
Also I renamed it to mod_wsgi.so when copying into to Apache2.2/
modules
Finally, on Windows Vista, for creating the Self Signed Certificate, I
had to use this command:
cd C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey sa:2048 -keyout server.key -
out server.crt -config "C:\Program Files\Apache Software oundation
\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf"
It seems I can use web2py with Rocket to set the Admin Password and
after that run in Apache and use that same password.
https://138.85.50.99/admin (enter it using password that was first
created by running web2py Rocket version)
http://138.85.50.99:8080/welcome
