Problem with wsgi dispatching

[Kuloto]

Hello,

I have faced some problem with url transformations.

I've configured my Django project at kuloto.heliohost.org/cartoons/

but Django gives an error as if it gets 'dispatch.wsgi' in its requests:

Request Method:    GET
Request URL:    http://kuloto.heliohost.org/cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/

Using the URLconf defined in urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: 
^cartoons/$
^cartoons/gravity/$
^cartoons/gravity/history/$
^cartoons/gravity/([0-9.]{1,5})/$

The current URL, cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/, didn't match any of these.

I tried to change patterns directly in my Django project to

^cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/gravity/$

^cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/gravity/history/$ and so on and it begun to work but it is not good solution because all requests without trailing slash like cartoons/gravity transforms to cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/gravity/

It probably happens because Django automatically completes requests with slash. And as a result many links dont work.

 

So my question how to configure .htaccess or whatever to avoid this behavior?

 

.htaccess content is standard:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(files/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(admin_media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(dispatch\.wsgi/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cartoons/dispatch.wsgi/$1 [QSA,PT,L]

I don't know how to solve your problem but you might try looking at the files from this zip:

 

http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/djangotest.zip

 

Django Working on my site:

http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/djangotest/dispatch.wsgi

 

If you try the zip above make sure to edit these lines in wsgi to suit your site:

 

sys.path.append("/home/byron/public_html/djangotest");
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/home/byron/.python_egg_cache'

Oops - sorry.

 

Edited previous post.

to jje:

Yes, Heliohost offers Django:)

 

to byron:

Thank you, but Django itself works, I have small working app with Django templates and other here, but happens something strange with inclusion of dispather file name in address. I've tried you project too with same effect (under adding some url patterns)

So, I will try to read more about redirections somewhere.

Hello again.

After long attemptions to refit .htaccess solution proved to be nicely simple.

The only thing to do is to remove or comment this line in dispatch.wsgi:

environ['PATH_INFO'] = environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] + environ['PATH_INFO']

dispatch.wsgi:

import os, sys
sys.path.append("/home1/kuloto/public_html/cartoons/");
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/home1/kuloto/.python_egg_cache'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
_application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
def application(environ, start_response):
    environ['PATH_INFO'] = environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] + environ['PATH_INFO'] #line to delete
    return _application(environ, start_response)

It prevents adding /project_dir/dispatch.wsgi into requests to your Django program.

I don't know who did add this in the script, but I'm asking admins to remove it on this page.

I can second that. Please remove the line from the default script. If not for this post, I would have wasted a lot of time trying to find a workaround.

 

Also, please add an additional info about looking up the home directory in the CPanel, as /home/{USERNAME} doesn't hold for everybody.
