Guide to Apache setup for deployment about django-tenant-schemas HOT 8 CLOSED

1st question, how best to handle www.mydomain.com so that it hits the public schema and doesn't try for a tenant url of 'www'. Is that a rewrite rule?

The middleware removes the www, you can see it here:
https://github.com/bcarneiro/django-tenant-schemas/blob/master/tenant_schemas/middleware.py#L25

from django-tenant-schemas.

You should be able to make www point to public by simply copying the middleware, modifying it to simply return after connection.set_schema_to_public() if the subdomain is www, and then telling your settings.py to use your custom middleware instead of the tenant_schema middleware as specified here in the docs: https://django-tenant-schemas.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#basic-settings

i.e.:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'myapp.middleware.WWWPublicTenantMiddleware',
    #...
)

from django-tenant-schemas.

Thanks @walkman, @fuhrysteve. Sounds like it might already be handled so I'll wait see before attempting the second solution.

So to the perhaps bigger question then; advice on setting up the tenant subdomain virtual hosts? (ie all subdomains other than www)

Thanks again

from django-tenant-schemas.

Something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # This first-listed virtual host is also the default for *:80
    ServerName www.example.com
    ServerAlias *.example.com 
    DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/name-based.html

from django-tenant-schemas.

@fuhrysteve surely it contains WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py in there at least? As per https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/. I did read the Apache doc pages already, my trouble is just coupling the 2 in the best way. I'll spend some more time on it and post a solution for feedback if it seems to work ok.

You'll basically want what the django docs state, but you'll need *:80 on your VirtualHost and ServerAlias *.example.com within it.

Hi Humbled,

sorry for the late reply. My VirtualHost is very similar to steve's.

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
    ServerName mywebsite.com
    ServerAlias *.mywebsite.com mywebsite.com
    LimitRequestBody 3145728
    # 3MB limit file size
    WSGIDaemonProcess www.mywebsite.com processes=5 threads=1
    WSGIProcessGroup www.mywebsite.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / "/path/to/django/scripts/mywebsite.wsgi"
    # line above means the root folder (/) will load wsgi
</VirtualHost>

I have added it to the docs: 92615d0

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

That's great, thanks @fuhrysteve @bcarneiro. Bernardo I ended up with one very similar to what you posted, but I've included python-path argument to WSGIDaemonProcess as per the Django docs. Perhaps you have a system-wide path set elsewhere.

Thanks for adding to the docs, that's what this was all about.

Cheers
