I have this same code which I have mentioned in this question of mine. Now I have hosted the same web.py app on Apache. But when I start Apache the code inside if __name__ == "__main__": is not executed.
Is it possible to run backgroud process(check the other question for the code) when hosted in Apache?
Why does the code inside if __name__ == "__main__": is not executed?
This is working well when web.py is run without Apache.
Code inside if __name__ == '__main__': doesn't run because that's not how Apache runs python code.
More likely, you're running your python under mod_wsgi or uwsgi, which is a way to have Apache talk to python.
Keep the if __name__ == '__main__': stuff: that's useful for simple testing, but add a similar block like:
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = web.application(urls, globals())
app.run()
elif under_mod_wsgi or under_uwsgi:
app = web.application(urls, globals())
application = app.wsgifunc() # !!rather than app.run()
Your Process stuff should still run (reference your other question).
To detect if under_mod_wsgi you can:
try:
from mod_wsgi import version
if version:
pass
under_mod_wsgi = True
except ImportError:
under_mod_wsgi = False
try:
import uwsgi
under_uwsgi = True
except ImportError:
under_uwsgi = False
