Django is a powerful web framework that can help you get your Python application or website off the ground quickly. Django includes a simplified development server for testing your code locally, but for anything even slightly production related, a more secure and powerful web server is required.

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to install and configure Django in a Python virtual environment. We’ll then set up Apache in front of our application so that it can handle client requests directly before passing requests that require application logic to the Django app. We will do this using the mod_wsgi Apache module that can communicate with Django over the WSGI interface specification.

sudo apt-get update

If you are using Django with Python 2, the commands you need are: sudo apt-get install python3-pip apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

If, instead, you are using Django with Python 3 sudo apt-get install python3-pip apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

We need to install the virtualenv command to create these environments. sudo pip install virtualenv

Run at root dir of project `virtualenv venv'

source myprojectenv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate python manage.py createsuperuser python manage.py collectstatic python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

In your web browser, visit your server’s domain name or IP address followed by :8000 http://server_domain_or_IP:8000

In this guide, we’ve set up a Django project in its own virtual environment. We’ve configured Apache with mod_wsgi to handle client requests and interface with the Django app.
