I am trying to setup an APE server for my Django project.

Setup

  1. I followed the setup instructions in the APE wiki: Simple APE Configuration

    I had to change the port though. My virtual host config reads as follows:

    NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8100
Listen 127.0.0.1:8100
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8100>
    ServerName local.ape-project.org
    ServerAlias ape.local.ape-project.org
    ServerAlias *.ape.local.ape-project.org

    DocumentRoot "/path/to/my/project/ape-jsf/"
</VirtualHost>

    Running http://local.ape-project.org:8100/Tools/Check/ runs all tests successfully and returns the message: All test done. Now you can play with your APE \o/

  2. Django is running on port 8000:

    python manage.py runserver_plus 0.0.0.0:8000

  3. I followed the instructions for the first tutorial: Tutorial: Color Changer

    I put the JavaScript code into my django project (with inclusion of Clients/JavaScript.js).

Problem

When i open the page, i get this error:

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://2.ape.local.ape-project.org:6969/?[{%22cmd%22:%22script%22,%22params%22:{%22domain%22:%22127.0.0.1%22,%22scripts%22:[%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/mootools-core.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Core/APE.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Core/Events.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Core/Core.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Pipe/Pipe.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Pipe/PipeProxy.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Pipe/PipeMulti.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Pipe/PipeSingle.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Request/Request.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Request/Request.Stack.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Request/Request.CycledStack.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Transport/Transport.longPolling.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Transport/Transport.SSE.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Transport/Transport.XHRStreaming.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Transport/Transport.JSONP.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Core/Utility.js%22,%22http://local.ape-project.org:8100/static/ape-jsf/Source/Core/JSON.js%22]}}]
from frame with URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/mydjangoapp/somepage/. Domains, protocols and ports must match.

I understand that there is a security issue with different domains and ports.

But how is this supposed to work?

It turned out that it's difficult to configure an environment that runs both Ape and runserver. The solution to this problem is to use another web server.

I chose Apache and the mod_wsgi module:

  • I'm running into the same problem. I have dev.mydomain.com and ape.mydomain.com. Is this how you are setup, or are you running everything from the same domain? Thanks. – stampede76 Nov 09 '12 at 05:51
  • I found an answer from their google groups. By adding {transport:2} as a parameter to client.load() like client.load({transport: 2}); it works with different subdomains https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/ape-project/Domains,$20protocols$20and$20ports$20must$20match./ape-project/hOwoKSDLsug/NUXkM7MTgPEJ – stampede76 Nov 09 '12 at 06:02

    By the way, i dumped APE because there are better alternatives. Currently, i am very happy with sockjs. See this excellent answer to my question: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10950702/675065 – Alp Nov 09 '12 at 13:05
  • I will check it out and see how it goes. I do not need the same volume of messages, but possibly many connections. I need something to avoid interval polling for 1 or 2 messages every 10 minutes for many users. I'll run some tests on APE and if that does not work switch to sockjs.
