I am trying to follow the tutorial on Deploying static files on Apache using mod_wsgi from the 1.6 Documentation. I already have a work in progress site deployed on Apache using mod_wsgi but I need to learn how to correctly deploy static files instead of linking to external Bootstrap CSS as I have been doing.
My issue is I have no idea where the below sample settings from the documentation is or where it should go.
Below is the relevant DjangoProject text
If, however, you have no option but to serve media files on the same Apache VirtualHost as Django, you can set up Apache to serve some URLs as static media, and others using the mod_wsgi interface to Django.
This example sets up Django at the site root, but explicitly serves robots.txt, favicon.ico, any CSS file, and anything in the /static/ and /media/ URL space as a static file. All other URLs will be served using mod_wsgi:
It then gives the below sample code which I will need to modify
Alias /robots.txt /path/to/mysite.com/static/robots.txt
Alias /favicon.ico /path/to/mysite.com/static/favicon.ico
AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) /path/to/mysite.com/static/styles/$1
Alias /media/ /path/to/mysite.com/media/
Alias /static/ /path/to/mysite.com/static/
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/media>
Require all granted
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
<Directory /path/to/mysite.com/mysite>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
Followed by some clarification instruction
If you are using a version of Apache older than 2.4, replace Require all granted with Allow from all and also add the line Order deny,allow above it.
There are some similarities to my below <VirtualHost> file. Should I just add it to this? Or should it be stored in another location?
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/bias_experiment
ServerAlias phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie
WSGIScriptAlias /bias_experiment/ /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/index.wsgi
Alias /static/ /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/static/
<Location "/static/">
Options -Indexes
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Any help would be great.
