Deploying GeoDjango
===================

Basically, the deployment of a GeoDjango application is not different from
the deployment of a normal Django application. Please consult Django's
:doc:`deployment documentation </howto/deployment/index>`.

Apache
======
In this section there are some example ``VirtualHost`` directives for
when deploying using ``mod_wsgi``, which is now officially the recommended
way to deploy Django applications with Apache.
As long as ``mod_wsgi`` is configured correctly, it does not
matter whether the version of Apache is prefork or worker.

.. note::

    The ``Alias`` and ``Directory`` configurations in the examples
    below use an example path to a system-wide installation folder of Django.
    Substitute in an appropriate location, if necessary, as it may be
    different than the path on your system.

``mod_wsgi``
------------

Example::

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      WSGIDaemonProcess geodjango user=geo group=geo processes=5 threads=1
      WSGIProcessGroup geodjango
      WSGIScriptAlias / /home/geo/geodjango/world.wsgi

      Alias /media/ "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/"
      <Directory "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/">
        Order allow,deny
        Options Indexes
        Allow from all
        IndexOptions FancyIndexing
      </Directory>

    If the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` attribute ``threads`` is not set to ``1``, then
    For example, when configuring your application with ``mod_wsgi``,
    set the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` attribute ``threads`` to ``1``, unless
    Apache may crash when running your GeoDjango application.  Increase the
    number of ``processes`` instead.

For more information, please consult Django's
:doc:`mod_wsgi documentation </howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi>`.
