What's the difference between mod_wsgi and mod_python.

In order to publish django websites on VPS, which one should I install on VPS?

You should use mod_wsgi. mod_python is the old and direct interface to Apache from Python. wsgi is a standard interface between any webserver and Python (mod_wsgi is the Apache implementation).

  • I tried yum install mod_wsgi. but it gave me error that httpd is conflicting with ea4. I couldn't install. But I've installed via pip. Is it gonna work? – Ankhbayar Bayarsaikhan Nov 08 '17 at 10:44
  • Installation issues with your system's package manager, and conflicts between installed packages, sound like a new questions (you should ask this as a new question, potentially on ServerFault). – thebjorn Nov 08 '17 at 11:24

    You cannot use yum installed mod_wsgi with a Apache distro other than system Apache provided by the operating system. You would need to install mod_wsgi yourself from source code compiled against the Apache you want to use if different to system Apache. – Graham Dumpleton Nov 08 '17 at 11:38

  • The question you link to is way too broad - and has absolutely nothing to do with the question you've asked here. There are tons of tutorials on setting up Django on various systems. @GrahamDumpleton gave you the answer on pip vs. yum installs (smart people generally listen to Graham when he speaks about mod_wsgi ). – thebjorn Nov 08 '17 at 13:21
