Configuring python in XAMPP

Please make sure that you had already installed python and xampp in your local machine.

Steps to follow :-

———————–

1. Place the mod_wsgi from the location and rename it as mod_wsgi.so.

         (depends on which apache version you are using)

2. Copy the mod_wsgi.so file to xampp/apache/modules.

3. Open httpd.conf file and load the module (\xampp\apache\conf\)

                    LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

4. Copy your project in the xampp/htdocs.

5. Create a folder with name apache in it.

              (project-name) /apache

6. Create a file with name django.wsgi and add the below code in it.

               import os, sys

               sys.path.append(‘c:/xampp/htdocs/(project-name) ‘)

               sys.path.append(‘c:/xampp/htdocs/(project-name) ‘)

               os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = ‘(project-name) .settings’

                import django.core.handlers.wsgi

                application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

7. Open httpd-vhosts.conf file and add the below code in it.(xampp\apache\conf\extra)

Listen 81
<VirtualHost *:81>
ServerName XYZProject
ServerAlias XYZProject
WSGIScriptAlias / C:/xampp/htdocs/<Project Name>/apache/django.wsgi

<Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/<Project Name>/<sub-project-name>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/<Project Name>/<Project Name>/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /static/admin/  "D:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/"
<Directory "D:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

8. Finally restart the apache server and check it with http://localhost:81/(project-name)
