mod_wsgi breaks django web

[Vreman, Peter]

The recent change in master to use mod_wsgi instead of mod_python breaks the django web
interface that still requires mod_python. Especially the authentication requires some more
changes than adding a .wsgi file. Can this be fixed by somebody with wsgi and django
knowledge?

Digging into it, but could you provide details on how to reproduce
this and what errors you're seeing?

Was hoping django web UI could continue using mod_python for now but I
must have gotten something wrong.

Cheers,

Devan

Ok I've got cobbler web up and running and it seems ok. I do see there
may be a packaging issue where I removed the rpm dep on mod_python.

Will need some more details on what's failing, but among them could
you confirm if you have mod_python installed or not? If not, does
installing it get you operational again?

Thanks,

Devan

I had mod_python not installed anymore, because it was missing from the deps and the
warning in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf " Do not enable mod_python and mod_wsgi in
the same apache process."

After installing mod_python rpm again the cobbler_web works again.

A note for installation or cobbler check is that mod_wsgi is must be explicitly enabled
first in /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf.

Regards,
Peter

Ok I will re-add the dependency for the cobbler-web package. Thanks
for reporting!

As for the do not mix mod_python and mod_wsgi I was not aware, no such
warning exists in that file in Fedora 13 but I do see it does affect
RHEL/CentOS, at least some versions. Please let me know if you start
experiencing any problems with both modules running.

Probably a good case to try to switch the web UI sooner rather than
later. Anyone good with Django? I will start looking into it.

Cheers,

Devan
