Deploying django(python) project with mod_wsgi

Question

I am new to django and mod_wsgi, when I was trying to deploy a django project(in python) demo on Apache using mod_wsgi, I encountered some problem as following:

When the demo runs on django's built-in webserver with command 'python manage.py runserver', everything looks normal like Running on built-in server

while when running on Apache/mod_wsgi with command 'mod_wsgi-express start-server wsgi.py' , it looks like this: Running on Apache/mod-wsgi

I have no idea which part of my code or configuration goes wrong, could anyone help me out?

Answer 1

This is because runserver serves css files for you. But in production you need to set up Apache to serve your static folder. Add alias to your apache config, eg

Alias /static /path/to/static_folder
