In production, Apache + mod_wsgi or Nginx + mod_wsgi ?

What to use for a medium to large python WSGI application, Apache + mod_wsgi or Nginx + mod_wsgi? Which combination will need more memory and CPU time? Which one is faster?

Apache development config on OS X (again)

We're running a Rails site at http://hansard.millbanksystems.com, on a dedicated Accelerator.

PHPs mime_content_type() fail on windows.

I know mime_content_type() is deprecated, but it seemed to me the alternative is worse at the moment. Finfo seems to require adding files and changing ini directions on windows; I don't want to require this for the script I am making. I need to find the mimetype of files, but when calling mime_content_type($filename) on windows it fails...

How to safely allow web-server to write to its own docroot?

As a follow up to an earlier question that attracted a whole zero answers, I'm wondering about the possibilities of allowing a web server (apache) to write to its own document root (Linux), in order to dynamically create meta-redirect files. Of course, this sounds incredibly dangerous, and I'm wary of going the whole hog and granting th...

mod_rewrite Rule to Cover All Domains

Is there a way to have a RewriteRule fire on any domain that is requested on a box?

Failed to get separate instances of a class under mod_python

I'm trying to run some python code under Apache 2.2 / mod_python 3.2.8. Eventually the code does os.fork() and spawns 2 separate long-run processes.

Thank you. ...
