Configure IIS to Serve Django Applications

Question

I'm trying to publish a Django web application (created with Python 2.7.15) via IIS. First of all I installed the application:

:: setup folders
mkdir C:\Software\MyApp\
cd C:\Software\MyApp\

:: clone the git Repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/blablabla.git C:\Software\MyApp\MyAppServer

:: create the virtualenv
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv py2_env
call py2_env\Scripts\activate.bat

:: install the python-requirements in the virtualenv
pip install -r C:\Software\MyApp\MyAppServer\requirements.txt

:: copy all static files in C:\var\www
python C:\Software\MyApp\MyAppServer\manage.py collectstatic

:: just to check if the app works (and it works!)
python C:\Software\MyApp\MyAppServer\manage.py runserver

At this point, my folders organization is:

C:\
└── Software\
    └── MyApp\
        ├── py2_env\
        │   ├── Include\
        │   ├── Lib\
        │   ├── Scripts\
        │   └── tcl\
        └── MyAppServer\
            ├── manage.py
            ├── ...
            └── myapp_django_server\
                ├── urls.py
                ├── wsgi.py
                └── ...

And the packages installed in my py2_env virtual env are:

(py2_env) C:\Software\MyApp\py2_env\Scripts>pip freeze --local
Django==1.11.2
djangorestframework==3.6.3
numpy==1.12.1
pytz==2018.7
wfastcgi==3.0.0

At this point I configure IIS following this guide (I jumped to the Configure IIS to Serve Django Applications chapter) but, at the end, if I browse to http://localhost:81 I get this error:

Error occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Software\EVARplanning\py2_env\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py", line 847, in main
    result = handler(record.params, response.start)
TypeError: get_wsgi_application() takes no arguments (2 given)


StdOut: 

StdErr:

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Answer 1

The problem was in my WSGI_HANDLER in the IIS's FastCGI Settings. I converted it's value from django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application to django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application() and then it works.
