Adding Parameters To The Wsgi Script Alias

Is there a way to pass extra arguments to WSGIScriptAlias? For example: WSGIScriptAlias / /foo/bar/wsgi.py but what I want is: WSGIScriptAlias / /foor/bar/wsgi.py baz Edit for clar

Solution 1:

First up, ensure you are using daemon mode, it is preferred anyway.

Then inside of your WSGI script file you can do:

importmod_wsgiprocess_group= mod_wsgi.process_group

You can then use the name of the process group as a way of distinguishing which configuration.

In other words, use the name of the daemon process group you choose to use in the Apache configuration file as the distinguishing factor.

Solution 2:

If you are using mod_wsgi, you may take advantage of envvars options when setting up.

For example:

mod_wsgi-express start-server ./my-wsgi.py --port 8200 --envvars-script /home/user/envvars_localhost.sh

in the envvars file "envvars_localhost.sh", set some needed parameter:

#!/bin/bashexport MOD_WSGI_VARIABLE='config1'

then at runtime your ./my-wsgi.py can reference the data:

mylocalConfigValue = os.environ['MOD_WSGI_VARIABLE']
