Django installation on RHEL
Since the yum install Django works with python2.4, if you want to use python 2.6, you have to manually do it. Get the latest Django, unzip it, and create a symlink from where you unzipped it to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages, which is where python26 is going to look for it
ln -s /where/i/unzipped/Django-1.3.1/django /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/
mod_wsgi, Python 2.6, and RHEL 5
To get mod_wsgi working with python26 on RHEL 5,
yum install python26-mod-python
Then in httpd.conf, instead of
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
use
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/python26-mod_wsgi.so
elsewhere in httpd.conf, you van have:
WSGIScriptAlias /projbase /var/lib/django/projbase.wsgi
with /var/lib/django/projbase.wsgi
#/var/lib/django/projbase.wsgi
import os
import sys
sys.path = ['/var/www/', '/usr/lib64/python2.6'] + sys.path
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'pytest.settings'
application = WSGIHandler()
