19319	mod_wsgi docs need <Files wsgi.py> ...Require all granted</Files>	colinnkeenan@…	nobody	"Using Apache/2.4.3 (Unix) mod_wsgi/4.0-TRUNK Python/3.2.3 and Django 6.1 alpha (trunk)

After completing the polls tutorial, I got it running in apache/mod_wsgi, but I had to add an additional line not mentioned in Django documentation to httpd.conf: Require all granted. This also doesn't seem to be mentioned in the mod_wsgi documentation. I found it by trial and error and by looking through how access was granted to other directories in the automatically generated httpd.conf.

This is what the end of my httpd.conf looks like now:


{{{
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/colin/mysite/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /home/colin/mysite

<Directory /home/colin/mysite/mysite>
<Files wsgi.py>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
  Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
}}}

Everything is as it's should be from Django documentation except I added 'Require all granted'. Here's the error that was logged by apache without that extra line:


{{{

}}}

In the web browser, it would say I didn't have access to /polls (don't remember the exact wording).

After adding 'Require all granted', /polls works the same as it did in the tutorial."	Bug	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
