How to make Apache2 server faster - Part-02 [Implementation]

#devops #tutorials #productivity

I will explain here how to increase latency of apache2 server,using Django deployment example.At the end of the article you'll get to know that this can be applies to any backend server be it Django or node server.

Installing mod_wsgi the easy way 

pip install mod_wsgi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

mod_wsgi - module for apache web server

No Apache Configuration Required 

$ mod_wsgi-express start-server hello.wsgi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Django Framework Integration

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'django.contrib.admin',

'django.contrib.auth',

.....

.....

'mod_wsgi.server',

]

Send logging to terminal

settings.py

LOGGING = {
    #  ... omitting the formatters and handlers for brevity ...
    'loggers': {
        # ...  you may have other loggers here as well ...
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['name_of_your_file_handler_goes_here'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        }
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or

LOGGING = {
        'version':1,
        'disable_existing_loggers': False,
        'handlers': {
                'console': {
                        'class' : 'logging.StreamHandler',
                 },
            },
            'loggers' : {
                    'django' : {
                            'handlers' : ['console'],
                            'level' : os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL','INFO'),
                    },
                },
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run Django With Management command 

python [manage.py](http://manage.py) runmodwsgi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Automatic code reloading 

python [manage.py](http://manage.py) runmodwsgi —reload-on-changes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Django DEBUG settings

settings.py

if os.environ.get('MOD_WSGI_DEBUG_MODE'):
        DEBUG = True

if os.environ.get('MOD_WSGI_DEBUGGER_ENABLED'):
        DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Interactive Debugger 

python [manage.py](http://manage.py) runmodwsgi —enable-debugger
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Production configuration 

python [manage.py](http://manage.py) runmodwsgi \
--server-root /etc/wsgi-port-80  \
--user www-data --group www-data\
--port 80  --setup-only
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
/etc/wsgi-port-80/apachectl start 
/etc/wsgi-port-80/apachectl restart 
/etc/wsgi-port-80/apachectl stop
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use daemon mode of mod_wsgi 

WSGIRestrictedEmbedded On
WSGIDaemonProcess myapp python-home=/../env

WSGIScriptAlias / /../src/wsgi.py \ 
        process-group=myapp application-group=%{GLOBAL}

<Directory /../src>
        <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
        </Files>
</Directory>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Just add whatever the backend server Django or Node anything, putting this above virtualhost on line-1 will boost your latency.
