How to install askbot on Ubuntu with LAMP?
I've failed so far to install askbot on Ubuntu 10.10 using Apache and a MySql db. I am currently running OSQA installed by following those instructions : http://wiki.osqa.net/display/docs/Ubuntu+with+Apache+and+MySQL . In fact, Askbot works by running :
python manage.py runserver localhost:8000
But I would like to deploy it on my apache server alongside with OSQA for testing purpose.
Here my default configuration file for Apache :
# Must be readable and writable by apache
WSGISocketPrefix ${APACHE_RUN_DIR}
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
#run mod_wsgi process for django in daemon mode
#this allows avoiding confused timezone settings when
#another application runs in the same virtual host
WSGIDaemonProcess OSQA
WSGIProcessGroup OSQA

#this is your wsgi script described in the prev section
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/osqa/osqa.wsgi
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/osqa.access.log common
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/osqa.error.log
</VirtualHost>
The osqa.wsgi file in /var/www/osqa :
import os
import sys
sys.path.append('/var/www/')
sys.path.append('/var/www/osqa')
# The first part of this module name should be identical to the directory name
# of the OSQA source. For instance, if the full path to OSQA is
# /home/osqa/osqa-server, then the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE should have a value
# of 'osqa-server.settings'.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'osqa.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
I am not quite sure how to modify those files to make askbot work. I installed askbot in /var/www/ask :
$user:/var/www$ ls ask
askbot __init__.py log manage.py settings.py urls.py ask.wsgi
