Installing Django under mod_python

I want to install mod_python under our ISPConfig. Surely this is not a problem, but I have a question regarding the configuring.

As ISPConfig does not support mod_python out of the box, I have to edit the vhosts file myself to add the nessecary lines. This is not a problem at all.

My question is: When I add those lines, and after a week or two want to edit that VHost under ISPConfig, will those lines be deleted or preserved?

 

Totally forget about that part.

Thanks!

 

How do you do that? I'm interested in installing django as well. Thanks.

 

Yes, I managed to install Django. Since Im running the latest Ubuntu LTS I just installed mod_python for Apache2 and exported the SVN Trunk to my site-packages.

After that I uploaded my django project to the web folder.

Last step, adjust and paste this into the Apache Directives in the ISPConfig configuration of the site:

<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE intranet.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/var/www/web18/web'] + sys.path"
</Location>

 

apt-get usually is for Debian-based distributions. You should try yast instead.
