Patchwork uses the django framework - there is some background on deploying
django applications here:
- http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter20/
+ http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter12/
You'll need the following (applications used for patchwork development are
in brackets):
* A python interpreter
- * django
+ * django >= 1.2
* A webserver (apache)
* mod_python or flup
* A database server (postgresql)
lib/packages is for stuff we'll download, lib/python is to add
to our python path. We'll symlink python modules into lib/python.
- At the time of release, patchwork depends on django version 1.0 or
+ At the time of release, patchwork depends on django version 1.2 or
later. Your distro probably provides this. If not, do a:
cd lib/packages
cd ../python
ln -s ../packages/django/django ./django
- We also use the django-registration infrastructure from
- http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/. Your distro
- may provide the django-registration python module (in Ubuntu/Debian it's
- called 'python-django-registration'). If not, download the module
- and symlink it to lib/python/ :
-
- cd lib/packages/
- hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/
- cd ../python
- ln -s ../lib/packages/django-registration/registration ./registration
-
We also use some Javascript libraries:
cd lib/packages

+ django has built-in support for WSGI, which supersedes the fastcgi
+ handler. It is thus the preferred method to run patchwork.
+
+ The necessary configuration for Apache2 may be found in
+
+ lib/apache2/patchwork.wsgi.conf.
+
+ You will need to install/enable mod_wsgi for this to work:
+
+ a2enmod wsgi
+ apache2ctl restart
mod_python:

+ An example apache configuration file for mod_python is in:
- lib/apache/patchwork.mod_python.conf
+ lib/apache2/patchwork.mod_python.conf
However, mod_python and mod_php may not work well together. So, if your
web server is used for serving php files, the fastcgi method may suit
django has built-in support for fastcgi, which requires the
'flup' python module. An example configuration is in:
- lib/apache/patchwork.fastcgi.conf
+ lib/apache2/patchwork.fastcgi.conf
- this also requires the mod_rewrite apache module to be loaded.
