Ok so i'm trying to run Python with Bottle.py, thru Apache and mod_wsgi, and it doesn't work so far...

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

the code i added to httpd(Apache config):

<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()

and my hello.py:

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

when i'm trying to go to localhost/hello i get an 404 error and i don't have any other error on the Apache log file, probably missing something basic, will be glad for help.

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.

To make your application modular such that you can put the code into various files, check out Bottle's equivalent of Blueprints (used by Flask framework)

I don't see your hello.py referenced anywhere.

You should just put the contents of hello.py (the route) into app.wsgi.

hey, its sound logical, but can you show the code that i need to add? –  Or Duan Jul 17 '13 at 13:44
 
Sure, I'm traveling so on my mobile now; will post code when I get back to a computer. But basically it's just both of your files combined into one. If you don't want to wait for me to get back to a laptop just try it. :) –  ron.rothman Jul 17 '13 at 16:19
 
well i tried and could not make it work with apache, but now i managed to run it without apache, just used the run() command when apache is off, and still, i'll be happier if i'll be able to make it work with apache –  Or Duan Jul 17 '13 at 20:32
 
Okay, looks like you took my suggestion (from another answer) and got it working, so I won't post any code now. Happy to hear you're all set. –  ron.rothman Jul 17 '13 at 22:20

i'm adding my conclusion for people who will have the same problem as i did: like Kneel-Before-ZOD and ron.rothman, i had to write my code in the WSGI file since python is running the code from there, BUT if you want to get your own py files you have to IMPORT them from the WSGI files like that:

from hello import application

the "hello" is the python FILE NAME and the "application" is the like you should write in you py file and NOT in wsgi:

application = bottle.default_app()

also had to restart apache every time i made a change(and i didn't know that - that why its made me crazy). tnx for the guys who helped me. GooLuck.

Just a tip: if you use bottle.run(reloader=True) then you won't have to restart apache every time you make a change. –  ron.rothman Jul 19 '13 at 1:31
 
unfortunately you cant use run with apache :( –  Or Duan Jul 19 '13 at 7:30
 
My bad, you're right. Alas. –  ron.rothman Jul 19 '13 at 16:44
