Hi.
I’m releasing the 0.0.6 version of the WSGI module for nginx.
I would like to have it tested (at least compilation) on all systems
supported by nginx.
I have tested it on my PC (Debian Etch i386), and on FreeBSD and OpenBSD
(using qemu).
The Python version I’m using is 2.4, but I have done some tests with 2.3
and 2.5.
I have tried to install FreeBSD and Open Solaris on qemu, but without
success.
64 bits system need testing, too (I have a 64bit CPU, but I have choosen
to install the 32bit Debian version).
I will appreciate any help, thanks.
In the next version I will implement some extensions to WSGI, then
mod_wsgi module should stabilize (I hope).

The wiki page: http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxNgxWSGIModule
The Mercurial stuff? http://hg.mperillo.ath.cx/nginx/mod_wsgi/
Should we be testing
http://hg.mperillo.ath.cx/nginx/mod_wsgi/archive/tip.tar.gz, or is there
a separate 0.0.6 tarball?
The easier it is, the more testers you will get

Ops… :).

It is all explained in the wiki page: I have just updated it.
Let me know if something is not clear.
Be aware that the nginx version to use is the latest in the stable
branch (0.5.34); other versions of nginx may require to apply some
patches.
More informations about patches is in:
http://hg.mperillo.ath.cx/nginx/mod_wsgi/file/tip/patches/README
There is no separate tarball, sorry, so you should use the tip using
Mercurial archive support:
http://hg.mperillo.ath.cx/nginx/mod_wsgi/archive/tip.tar.gz
In future (when I will release the 0.1 version) I will take some
decisions for a better hosting.
The easier it is, the more testers you will get
Right, thanks!

This is great news =)

I am using a 64-bit install Gentoo Linux (x86-64, Intel Core2 Duo)
I have built successfully nginx 0.6.25 with mod_wsgi without
compilation warnings (gcc 4.2.2). Nginx without using mod_wsgi
features works as expected, I will be done some testing in the next 2-3
days.
Best regards,

Now only a basic test on Solaris is missing.

I can confirm it compiles on both Solaris SPARC and x86. The libraries I
use from blastwave are for 32 bit, though, so I didn’t test compiling
for 64 bit. I also just saw that it compiled properly; I didn’t test
any actual running.
Compiled with Sun Studio 11 on the SPARC machine, and Sun Studio 12 on
the x86 one, as shown below (formatting might be a little wonky).

So I suppose my last test will be good news, too: I have successfully
built the thing in my old iBook (32-bit PowerPC G3) with no warnings.
Details: Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.21, Nginx 0.6.25, gcc 4.1.2.
I made myself a modified ebuild which optionally adds the WSGI module
and my own module (they are two USE-flags). For us Gentoo users:

Ok, now it seems that the compilation is ok on all systems supported by
nginx.
NetBSD is still missing, I have tried to install it on a qemu instance,
but the virtual network card is not recognized.
In future I will try to add some automated tests.

Now with WSGI-enabled Bazaar repository, hehe:

Next test will be Bazaar’s smart-server over HTTP, as it is also a
WSGI application.
Contents of “bzrsmart.wsgi”:
from bzrlib.transport.http import wsgi
application = wsgi.make_app(root=“/tmp/test”,
prefix=“/”, path_var=“REQUEST_URI”,
readonly=True)
Do “mkdir /tmp/test/bzr” and put some branches on it… you are done
and the thing works as expected =)
Maybe I will switch from Apache to Nginx at home in the next days, as I
use Trac and Bazaar for tracking my stuff…

Rewarding this, it looks like all test scripts included with mod_wsgi
run without problems in my laptop (x86-64, Intel Core2, Gentoo Linux).
The shocking news: I have been able of running Trac 0.11 beta1 with
mod_wsgi! The configuration snippets looks like this:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
include wsgi_vars;
location /login {
auth_basic "Trac";
auth_basic_user_file /tmp/test/passwd;
wsgi_pass /tmp/test/run.wsgi;
}
location / {
wsgi_pass /tmp/test/run.wsgi;
}
}
The idea of adding an extra “/login” location for authentication was
taken from TracCgi – The Trac Project
The “run.wsgi” file contents are as follows (inspiration taken from
TracModWSGI – The Trac Project):
import os, trac.web.main
os.environ[“TRAC_ENV”] = “/tmp/test”
os.environ[“PYTHON_EGG_CACHE”] = “/tmp/test/eggs”
application = trac.web.main.dispatch_request
Next test will be Bazaar’s smart-server over HTTP, as it is also a WSGI
application.
Manlio you rock! I am getting very excited about this stuff!

For example, if you want to build nginx 0.6.x with the latest mod_wsgi,
get the packages and unpack them:
cd /tmp
tar -xfz tip.tar.gz
tar -xfz nginx-0.6.25.tar.gz
As we are using Nginx 0.6 we must patch mod_wsgi sources:
( cd mod_wsgi-* && patch -p1 < patches/nginx-0.6.x.patch )
Finally, configure and build Nginx, the trick is the “–add-module”
flag to the configure script:
cd nginx-0.6.25
./configure --add-module=…/mod_wsgi-*
make && make install
You’ll end up having a fresh Nginx installation in /usr/local

I am aware CGI is the slower method
I used Manlio’s mod_wsgi to serve a Trac instance (which is similar to
mod_python in the sense that it embeds a Python interpreter into the
webserver.)

Note that here you do not need an extra script: you can just do in nginx
configuration:
env PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp/test/eggs
location / {
wsgi_param trac.env_path /tmp/test
wsgi_pass /path/to/trac.web.main dispatch_request;
}

I took a peek at bzrlib/transport/http/wsgi.py, and it uses a StringIO
(about line 115) to assemble the output. It does not use the write
callable.
