PyAMF and Apache webserver

[lists-144]

Hi,

yesterday Nick and I worked on a mod_python/pyamf app that can be  
used with the Apache webserver. This allows you to run your pyamf  
application on top of Apache, kinda like the Coldfusion flash  
remoting gateway running in Tomcat. I was blown away by the  
simplicity and easy setup, especially if you compare it to Coldfusion  
or Red5. We started porting the collab.nl application to PyAMF so we  
can stress test the library a little.

If you also want to try this out, there's now a howto available on  
http://pyamf.org/wiki/ModPythonHowto

Cheers,

Thijs

Hey,

Excellent use of the wsgi handler. Should be able to do it even
simpler with mod_wsgi, which is kind of this "newer" version of
mod_python, but constrained to wsgi apps.

Hi Arnar,

we started out with that idea but unfortunately that package wasn't  
available for Ubuntu 6.0.6.1 (apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi). I  
guess we could've installed it from source but this also seems to  
work pretty well. Do you know if mod_wsgi is faster or more stable  
compared to mod_python?

Ok I found the answer to my question, according to this page [1] "The adapter provides significantly better performance than using existing WSGI adapters for mod_python or CGI."

I'll figure out how to install mod_wsgi now, I want to test both.

It is fairly easy to compile. Just make sure to

aptitude install build-essentials

Then when compiling mod_wsgi, just give "--with-apxs" parameter to
configure and point it to the apxs2 binary.

Hey Arnar,

I started a howto [1] but got stuck with the Apache vhost, the  
WSGIScriptAlias isn't recognized by apache. Suggestions are welcome :)

Hi Thijs,

Regarding ModPython. You can get difficulties running ModPython
alongside ModPHP. That's why I use Lighttpd + FastCGI + Django [1]

Let me try it on my vserver, I'll get back to you in a minute.
