Apache + mod_python + Pylons + DIRAC

Required packages

  • httpd-devel
  • httpd
  • mod_ssl
  • gcc
  • gcc-c++
  • zlib
  • zlib-devel

Prepare DIRAC

Compile python if it's not there

For Python2.5 

<DIRACROOT>/external/sqlite-3.5.4/dirac-make
<DIRACROOT>/external/Python-2.5/dirac-make
<DIRACROOT>/contrib/pyGSI/dirac-make

For Python2.4 

<DIRACROOT>/external/Python-2.4.4/dirac-make
<DIRACROOT>/contrib/pyGSI/dirac-make

Install Pylons 

<DIRACROOT>/<DIRACARCH>/bin/easy_install Pylons

Grid Requirements

In order to only allow valid certificates apache needs a CA directory (with CAs and CRLs updated periodically) and a certificate.

Setting up Apache

Install mod_python 

<DIRACROOT>/external/mod_python/dirac-make 
cp <DIRACROOT>/DIRAC/Interfaces/Web/wgsi.py <DIRACROOT>/<DIRACARCH>/lib/python<PYTHONVERSION>/site-packages/mod_python

Prepare DIRAC web root

  • Create the web root directory 
mkdir -p /opt/dirac/webRoot/
  • Create the index.html file (/opt/dirac/webRoot/index.html) 
<html>
 <head>
  <META http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=DIRAC">
 </head>
</html>
  • Create a link to the DIRAC web root 
ln -s /opt/dirac/DIRAC3/DIRAC/Interfaces/Web/ /opt/dirac/webRoot/DIRAC

Configure Apache

Under SLC4 apache configuration file is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

  • Load mod_python 
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
  • Set the desired directory as the Apache document root 
DocumentRoot "/opt/dirac/webRoot"
  • Define mod_python as the handler for the DIRAC web directory 
<Directory "/opt/dirac/webRoot/DIRAC">
  SetHandler mod_python
  PythonHandler mod_python.wsgi
  PythonPath "['/opt/dirac/DIRAC3/DIRAC/Interfaces/Web'] + sys.path"
  PythonOption wsgi.application startup::app
  PythonOption SCRIPT_NAME /DIRAC
</Directory>

Configuring mod_ssl

Under SLC4 mod_ssl configuration file is /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and it has to have defined the following settings:

  • SSLCertificateFile /pathto/certfile
  • SSLCertificateKeyFile /pathto/keyfile
  • SSLCACertificatePath /etc/grid-security/certificates
  • SSLCARevocationPath /etc/grid-security/certificates
  • SSLVerifyClient require
  • SSLVerifyDepth 10
  • SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
