PGAdmin4 virtual host not working with Apache2 + WSGI - python

I have a problem. I'm creating a server where I will host a Django project and also PGAdmin4. I configured PGAdmin to run through apache2 and WSGI with a Python 3.8 virtual environment. It was working perfectly before I set up the Django project. at the ip/pgadmin. As soon as i manage to host the Django on the virtual host. The pgadmin started not to work.
When trying to enter the "ip/pgadmin" while the django webserver is not at the root at the WSGIScriptAlias i receive this page.
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.0.10 Port 80
and the following log error. The pgadmin4 is installed withing the same virtualenv that runs the django project but as they are daemons thats not a problem. So i do not see why is searching under "/var/www/acas_webserver/pgadmin/"
[Tue Mar 16 00:54:22.633470 2021] [core:info] [pid 26119:tid 140348751849216] [client 192.168.0.5:63072] AH00128: File does not exist: /var/www/acas_webserver/pgadmin/
But when i place the django project at the root of the WSGIScriptAlias i reacieve this page but no log info to know what happened.
Not Found
The requested resource was not found on this server.
I'm trying to get both of them work alone and having my django at the root of the directories of the apache2 virtual hosts + wsgi. I cannot fint whats the problem an its been countless hours without figuring it out. where are the virtual hosts configurations

I just want to get them work to continue on with this projects and its been several days of headaches. Can someone be of help here? If anything is need im happy to provide. Plz help.
UPDATE:
The problem is all coming up once I enable the django webserver. As soon as i turn of my django webserver on Apache2, i can access my pgadmin page, but as soon as I turn on my django webserver on Apache2, the pgadmin again is unreachable.

I have looked at your configs ( e.x apache ) and seem fine.
I think, there are many possible ways to solve your problem.
The first way would be using some docker container that fits your needs. if you don't know about it just "GOOGLE: docker Django Postgres apache " and read the top links.
Search for it and there are many results already there. After that, you can run your project probably. I don't want to go deep into docker but surely would solve your problem.
Second, Check and monitor your services, ports, and permissions. If they are not in right place, maybe your server ports are busy or you should restart the services. (as you said worked fine before the Django installation, this idea has a low chance to solve the problem)
Furthermore, You should deploy your Django project in the right folder. the differences between those logs are rational. root folder probably is under a read-only mode.
you have mentioned that you have to work on this project and it's been several days of headaches. My first question is why do you focus on server deployment rather than coding? You can easily run Postgre, WSGI, and Django without any headache ! ( developing environment)
and pgadmin isn't a necessary tool. Also, if it's the problem and you should use it just ignore it and pass it to the final stage which you have done your coding phases. ( seems you stuck in the first place without coding)

Problem while deploying a Django app with Apache2 on Ubuntu

I've been trying to deploy a Django app on Ubuntu 18.04 using Apache2 for the past couple of days now, and it still doesn't work.
My apache2 config is:
<VirtualHost *:1337>
<Directory /var/www/LGSM_webpanel/LGSM_webpanel>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/LGSM-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/LGSM-access.log combined
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/LGSM_webpanel/LGSM_webpanel/wsgi.py
WSGIDaemonProcess LGSM_webpanel python-path=/var/www/LGSM_webpanel
WSGIprocessGroup LGSM_webpanel
DocumentRoot /var/www
</VirtualHost>
However, for some reason, when I access http://localipofthemachine:1337 I just get the google chrome error Connection refused.
Now, the server works when I use manage.py runserver, and I can fully access it, but when I use apache, I just get this error.
The apache logs are also empty by the way.
Thanks in advance for your help
First of all, you need to add Listen 1337 in the virtual host configuration, i.e.
Listen 1337
<VirtualHost *:1337>
# your configuration
# etc
</VirtualHost>
Second, make sure that the apache user www-data can access your webapp files by running chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/LGSM_webpanel.

Unable to render Django app with Jelastic

I want to render my Django with jelatic.
I cloned my Django app on jelastic.
I configured my Postgres database and modified my settings.py so that my app is connecting to my database.
Finally to render my app I run this in the SSH : python manage.py runserver
And everything seems to work :
But I get this response on my browser:
Any help will be appreciated =)
The thing is that as we can see the site is started manually on the localhost (127.0.0.1) and on port 8000. Then there is a try to open the domain from the outside (despite the fact that the application is listening only on 127.0.0.1 localhost and only on port 8000). Obviously, nothing is opened in response because Apache is listening on port 80, which is not configured to work with this application (and the application itself is also not accessible from the outside).
In order for Apache + mod_wsgi to work successfully with this application, the application is not needed to be started manually as was done before, but it is needed to write a wsgi entry point similar to what is described here https://jelastic.com/blog/django-cms-installation-python-cloud-hosting/ (point 6 of manual installation).
So i found out how to modify apache server file to put your own django web app on Jelastic solution:
Go to the file : /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
Do these modification:
#---------- Put this in comment line ----------
#Alias /images /var/www/webroot/ROOT/images
#Alias /static /var/www/webroot/ROOT/static
#WSGIScriptAlias / ${WSGI_SCRIPT}
#WSGIProcessGroup apache
#---------- Add those code line ----------
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonHome /path/to/venv
WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/mysite>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
Alias /media/ /path/to/mysite.com/media/
Alias /static/ /path/to/mysite.com/static/
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/static>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Django app hangs when attempting to connect to database via Apache

I am having difficulty troubleshooting this issue. I have a Django app running on an Ubuntu 14.04 server (with Apache 2.4 and mod_wsgi for Python 3.4). It connects to SQL Server via pymssql.
In development, the app works fine. I query the database, and the database returns the expected results.
In production (under the Apache user), however, the script hangs at the exact point that a database query is made. My browser (Chrome or Firefox) shows a spinning wheel that continues to spin as long as the browser window is open.
I have the following in my apache2.conf file:
ServerName localhost
# WSGIDaemonProcess application
WSGIPythonPath /home/production_code/python3env/lib/python3.4/site-packages:/home/production_code/school
# WSGIProcessGroup application
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/production_code/school/school/wsgi.py
# Python virtualenv home
WSGIPythonHome /home/production_code/python3env
# Include the virtual host configurations:
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
And the following in my sites-enabled/000-default.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin *****#school.edu
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /static/ /home/production_code/school/static/
<Directory /home/production_code/school/>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /home/production_code/school/>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
<Directory /home/production_code/school/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or how I might troubleshoot this? The Apache error logs and access logs are not particularly helpful in this situation, since a response to the request is never rendered. Similarly, Django debugging is also not useful here.
Instead of:
# WSGIDaemonProcess application
WSGIPythonPath /home/production_code/python3env/lib/python3.4/site-packages:/home/production_code/school
# WSGIProcessGroup application
use:
WSGIDaemonProcess application python-path=/home/production_code/python3env/lib/python3.4/site-packages:/home/production_code/school
WSGIProcessGroup application
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
A key part of this is the WSGIApplicationGroup directive, with it being set to %{GLOBAL}.
This is to get around faulty third party extension modules for Python that don't work in sub interpreters and which can fail with a dead lock or crash.
See:
https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ApplicationIssues#Python_Simplified_GIL_State_API
It is also recommend you go back to using daemon mode. It is generally not a good idea to use embedded mode.

Django EC2 deployment with wsgi and Apache

I have a micro instance on EC2 with Django installed there. I've also installed mod-WSGI, PostgreSQL, etc following several tutorials.
Finally, I pulled my project from bitbucket and started Apache on my EC2. Unfortunately, the only thing I have is the default Apache page and I've already spent a day and night reading and trying to figure out what am I doing wrong.
my_project is in /home/ubuntu dir. In it's folder I have wsgi.py file:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "my_project.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
This is my .conf file stored in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80
WSGIPythonPath /home/ubuntu/my_project/
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/my_project
ServerName www.ec2-54-***-104-**.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
ServerAlias ec2-54-***-104-**.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
ErrorLog /home/ubuntu/my_project/apache/error_log
CustomLog /home/ubuntu/my_project/access_log_common
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ubuntu/my_project/wsgi.py
Alias /static/ /home/ubuntu/my_project/static/
<Directory /home/ubuntu/my_project/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /home/ubuntu/my_project>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
When I'm trying to
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
and instead:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
It works fine and I'm able to connect to my app from a browser with IP as URL.
It gives me understanding that the setting.py file is fine (am I right?) and the problem is or in wsgi.py or httpd.conf.
When I stop my development server and start Apache again, I get the default Apache page. Can you help me please to find what's wrong with my files?
Permissions for apache:
ubuntu#ip-172-**-**-69:~$ ls -ld my_project/
drwxr-xr-x 10 www-data www-data 4096 May 26 19:51 project/
You normally shouldn't use an IP address for ServerName, it has to be the hostname (FQDN) that the site is accessed as.
You are missing a WSGIDaemonProcess directive to correspond to your use of WSGIProcessGroup.
It is bad security practice to set DocumentRoot to be where your source code for your application is.
Finally, stuff under a users home directory is not usually accessible to the user that Apache runs as.
Suggest go back and review the mod_wsgi deployment documentation on the Django site again for a start.

Multiple Django Apps on one Server

How is it possible to serve out multiple Django apps on multiple domains?
For example I have
djangoapp1.com and djangoapp2.com
I then have two separate apps in two separate locations
/srv/www/djangoapp1
/srv/www/djangoapp2
I am running Apache2 with mod_wsgi and I currently have the following in its httpd.conf
WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/www/app1/app1/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /srv/www/app1
<Directory /srv/www/app1/system>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
I also then obviously have the virtual host and I get the django default install page, but now I want to serve up my second app, can anybody point me in the right way to do this?
Django V: 1.4.1
There are many approaches you can take here, and no simple answer - it depends on your requirements and constraints.
The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work is very likely the approach suggested by #Hedde - to define the WSGI configuration per-site inside a virtualhost.
A second and possibly more flexible approach would be to run each Django application inside it's own containing application server e.g. gunicorn (hopefully in a virtualenv to isolate application specific dependencies) on different ports and then use Apache or even Nginx as a proxy for application traffic.
This involves a more complicated server environment to manage, but gives you the advantage of being able to manage your applications individually.
You can reconfigure your available workers, upgrade application versions, make changes to settings.py etc for one application at a time rather than having to restart a single monolithic process.
In addition, although it is, of course possible, monitoring virtualhosts within the same Apache process is more complex than monitoring individual application server instances separately.
YMMV
You can use Apache's VirtualHosts
There's plenty examples for Django, e.g. here
One of the ways to run multiple django apps on a single server is to run one app on one port each.
How to run two apps on two different ports?
As recommended by Django, I am using wsgi to interface between apache and Django code. Tricky thing here is that you cannot use wsgi in "embedded" mode. In embedded some os resources are shared and hence leads to race conditions. Solution is to use wsgi in daemon mode. In daemon mode, as the name suggests, wsgi runs as separate processes and hence no shared resources. Your two django apps will be unaware of each other.
This is how my configuration looks. I am running apps on port 8082 and 8083. Notice the lines with WSGIDaemonProcess and WSGIProcessGroup and process-group=pas
Listen 8082
<VirtualHost *:8082>
WSGIDaemonProcess djangoapp1 processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup djangoapp1
WSGIScriptAlias /apis /home/apis/djangoapp1/xyz/config.wsgi process-group=djangoapp1
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
<Directory /home/apis/djangoapp1>
Options +ExecCGI
<Files config.wsgi>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Listen 8083
<VirtualHost *:8083>
WSGIDaemonProcess djangoapp2 processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup djangoapp2
WSGIScriptAlias /apis /home/apis/discovery_api/nykaa/config.wsgi process-group=djangoapp2
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
<Directory /home/apis/djangoapp2>
Options +ExecCGI
<Files config.wsgi>
Require all granted
</Files>

How to serve both the apps on port 80 ?
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias localhost
ProxyPassMatch "^/(apis/v1/hello$.*)" "http://127.0.0.1:8082/$1"
ProxyPassMatch "^/(apis/v1/hi$.*)" "http://127.0.0.1:8082/$1"
ProxyPassMatch "^/(apis/v1/wassup$.*)" "http://127.0.0.1:8083/$1"
ProxyPassMatch "^/(apis/v1/howdy$.*)" "http://127.0.0.1:8083/$1"
</VirtualHost>
Two ways to access wassup and hello API:
http://example.com:8083/apis/v2/wassup?q=howsitgoing
http://example.com/apis/v2/wassup?q=howsitgoing
http://example.com:8082/apis/v2/hello?q=how are you
http://example.com/apis/v2/hello?q=howareyou
Django Code
As recommended on Django website I have replaced
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "{{ project_name }}.settings")
to
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "{{ project_name }}.settings"
Please see if this is helpful
in apache2.conf or htppd.conf
# Virtual hosts setup
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName example1.com
............
WSGIScriptAlias / /..../path/to/wsgi1.py
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName example2.com
............
WSGIScriptAlias / /..../path/to/wsgi2.py
</VirtualHost>
in wsgi1.py
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings1' # or projectnaame.settings1
in wsgi2.py
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings2' # or projectname.settings2
In settings1.py & settings2.py you can make necessary databases and other configurations
