Hi Jean-Pierre,
did you test Toms directions, did it work? If not I can dig up my
configurations files also.
Kenneth
I installed web2py with mod_wsgi on centos 5.2.
I haven't used it extensively, but I did get it to work
for a couple of my web2py applications.
Instead of running the install script, I manually implemented
most of the steps from the setup-web2py-fedora.sh script.
I have selinux disabled in this configuration.
The following is a record of what I did...
No guarantees...

You will probably need the following packages.
httpd.i386
mod_ssl.i386
wget.i386
httpd-devel.i386
sqlite-devel.i386
zlib-devel.i386
The python on most servers is 2.5, so I will rebuild it for 2.7
===============================================================
/usr/local/Python-2.7.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-threads --enable-shared
--with-zlib=/usr/include
make && make install
Rebuild mod_wsgi to use the new python:
=======================================
/usr/local/tar# wget
http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/files/mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/mod_wsgi-3.3
./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python
make && make install
Install web2py somewhere. It must be owned by the apache process.
=================================================================
mkdir -p /opt/web-apps
chmod 755 /opt
chmod 755 /opt/web-apps
cd /opt/web-apps
wget http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
unzip web2py_src.zip
chown -R apache:apache web2py
Setup SSL
=========
mkdir -p /etc/httpd/ssl
openssl genrsa 1024 > /etc/httpd/ssl/self_signed.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key
/etc/httpd/ssl/self_signed.yum list httpd mod_ssl mod_wsgi wget python
httpd-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel
key > /etc/httpd/ssl/self_signed.cert
(supply appropriate responses)
openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -text <
/etc/httpd/ssl/self_signed.cert > /etc/httpd/ssl/self_signed.info
Setup web2py admin password
===========================
cd /opt/web-apps/web2py
sudo -u apache python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password(raw_input('admin password: '),443)"
xxxx
Configure Apache
================
/etc/httpd/conf.d
... wsgi.conf ..............................................
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGISocketPrefix run/wsgi
............................................................
- mod_python interferes with mod_wsgi.
- hide or remove mod_python.conf from /etc/httpd/conf.d

I followed various instructions I found in the web2py group
to build web2py.conf.
There are simpler configurations, but I needed web2py to
coexist with other pre-existing httpd applications.
This configuration serves two named web2py apps: app1 and app2
