Deploying two different Django Applications on Windows Server in IIS

Question

I am deploying two different Django applications on Windows 2012 in IIS. My first application is running but I can't seem to run my second application.

My question is how do I configure my FastCGI Settings if I have two PYTHONPATH and two DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE?

Do I put a semicolon every after values? For example:

NAME: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

VALUE: mysettings.settings;myothersettings.settings

NAME: PYTHONPATH

VALUE: C:\PythonApps\firstapp;C:\PythonApps\secondapp

Answer 1

Step 1) Web Server's FastCGI Settings - in your web server under FastCGI Settings create an application for each site you will be running. If you are using a venv be sure to point to your python.exe and wfastcgi.py file within that venv. For isntance, I have one that points to:

"C:\Apps\.virtualenv\[enviroment-name]\python.exe|C:\Apps\.virtualenv\[enviroment-name]\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" 

And one that points to:

"C:\Python37\pytohn.exe|C:\Python37\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py"

Step 2) Website's Handler Mappings - for each handler mapping, The Module with be FastCgiModule and the settings should mirror the application settings you created in step one. So one site should have an executable of:

"C:\Apps\.virtualenv\[enviroment-name]\python.exe|C:\Apps\.virtualenv\[enviroment-name]\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" 

The other should be:

"C:\Python37\pytohn.exe|C:\Python37\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py"

Step 3) Web.Config File - In the root of your django app, save a file like the one below. The web server handler should coincide with the application setting you are using. Down in application settings you can define your WSGI_HANDLER, PYTHONPATH, and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
