===================================
 Installing the API behind mod_wsgi
===================================

Aodh comes with a few example files for configuring the API
service to run behind Apache with ``mod_wsgi``.

app.wsgi
========

The file ``aodh/api/app.wsgi`` sets up the V2 API WSGI
application. The file is installed with the rest of the Aodh
application code, and should not need to be modified.

etc/apache2/aodh
================

The ``etc/apache2/aodh`` file contains example settings that
work with a copy of Aodh installed via devstack.

.. literalinclude:: ../../../etc/apache2/aodh

1. On deb-based systems copy or symlink the file to
   ``/etc/apache2/sites-available``. For rpm-based systems the file will go in
   ``/etc/httpd/conf.d``.

2. Modify the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` directive to set the ``user`` and
   ``group`` values to a appropriate user on your server. In many
   installations ``aodh`` will be correct.

3. Enable the Aodh site. On deb-based systems::

      $ a2ensite aodh
      $ service apache2 reload

   On rpm-based systems::

      $ service httpd reload


Limitation
==========

As Aodh is using Pecan and Pecan's DebugMiddleware doesn't support
multiple processes, there is no way to set debug mode in the multiprocessing
case. To allow multiple processes the DebugMiddleware may be turned off by
setting ``pecan_debug`` to ``False`` in the ``api`` section of
``aodh.conf``.

For other WSGI setup you can refer to the `pecan deployment`_ documentation.
