running Apache + Bottle + Python

I'm trying to run Bottle.py with Apache and mod_wsgi.

I'm running it on windows, using a xampp. python v2.7

My Apache config in httpd:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName example.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / C:\xampp\htdocs\GetXPathsProject\app.wsgi
    <Directory C:\xampp\htdocs\GetXPathsProject>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

My app.wsgi code:

import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))
import bottle
application = bottle.default_app()

My hello.py:

from bottle import route
@route('/hello')
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

When I go to localhost/hello I get a 404 error. I don't have any other errors on the Apache log file, probably missing something basic.

Solution

  • There's no connecting point from your wsgi file to your hello.py file.
    Put the content in your hello.py into the app.wsgi and restart your web server.
    That should resolve the problem.
