Apache environment variables
============================
If you want to specify a different Django settings file or additional variables
for your Django application via the Apache configuration, you would do it like
this:
.. code-block:: apache
SetEnv DB_USER dbusername
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.alternate-settings
The ``SetEnv`` directive creates Apache environment variables instead of OS
environment variables, so you will need to replace the default ``wsgi.py`` file
with::
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
# A tuple of Apache environment variables to pass through to Django.
env_variables_to_pass = ('DB_USER', )
def application(environ, start_response):
"""
Wrapper for the WSGI application that passes environment variables.
"""
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = environ.get('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mysite.settings')
for var in env_variables_to_pass:
os.environ[var] = environ.get(var, '')
return get_wsgi_application()(environ, start_response)
Now you can specify a new settings file in Apache using the
``SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE ...`` line, and if that setting isn't
specified, it uses ``'mysite.settings'`` as a default. You'll want to change
``mysite.settings`` to reference your own ``settings.py`` module.
Additionally, you can use the ``env_variables_to_pass`` tuple to specify any
other Apache environment variables, such as database login credentials, that
should be passed along to the Django application as OS environment variables.
