Installing API behind mod_wsgi¶

1. Install the Apache Service:

   Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:
     sudo yum install httpd
   
   Fedora 22 (or higher):
     sudo dnf install httpd
   
   Debian/Ubuntu:
     apt-get install apache2
   

2. Copy etc/apache2/watcher.conf under the apache sites:

   Fedora/RHEL7/CentOS7:
     sudo cp etc/apache2/watcher /etc/httpd/conf.d/watcher.conf
   
   Debian/Ubuntu:
     sudo cp etc/apache2/watcher /etc/apache2/sites-available/watcher.conf
   

3. Edit <apache-configuration-dir>/watcher.conf according to installation and environment.

   • Modify the WSGIDaemonProcess directive to set the user and group values to appropriate user on your server.
   • Modify the WSGIScriptAlias directive to point to the watcher/api/app.wsgi script.
   • Modify the Directory directive to set the path to the Watcher API code.
   • Modify the ErrorLog and CustomLog to redirect the logs to the right directory.

4. Enable the apache watcher site and reload:

   Fedora/RHEL7/CentOS7:
     sudo systemctl reload httpd
   

   Debian/Ubuntu:

   sudo a2ensite watcher sudo service apache2 reload
