sean We trying without building a new Apache, We imported the app from Webfaction and we made the changes.

The structure that App had in Webfaction was:

~/webapps/project:
  --~/webapps/project/apache2
  -- ~/webapps/project/bin
   -- ~/webapps/project/lib
    -- ~/webapps/project/django_project1
    -- ~/webapps/project/django_project1

When we ran the follow commands we got this:

~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/ start  -bash:: command not found
 -bash:  ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/: Is a directory
-bash: -bash:: command not found
 ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/apachectl start
-bash: : command not found
  ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/apachectl: No such file or directory
-bash: -bash:: command not found
~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/apachectl: No such file or directory

Our wefaction mod_wsgi =3.4.

Sorry, but we don't know how to migrate correctly.

      joshuccr you've got a space in your command before start: ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/ start

      Try it like this: ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/start

          sean I tried and obtain this:

          -bash: /home/opaluser/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/start: Permission denied

          • sean replied to this.

              joshuccr do chmod u+x ~/apps/myapp/apache2/bin/* and try again.

                  sean Thank you very much Sean.
                  Apache server is running, but we checked and we obtained a 500 error.

                  When we checked logs we saw this:

                  we saw that we have that dependances:

                  • sean replied to this.

                      joshuccr WebFaction did a lot of weird non-standard stuff with Python search paths so your default library setup isn't going to work here.

                      The first two steps in the procedure are intended to cover that:

                      1. Make a Python 2.7 environment for your Python dependencies: Python Virtual Environments | Opalstack Support Center
                      2. Install your Python dependencies into the new environment.

                      You'll need to install any packages that were in your appname/lib/python2.7 and in your ~/lib/python2.7 directory at WF.

                          sean Thanks a lot. It is very hard for us to migrate all django projects, because have the same Webfaction Structure in all of them.
                          Sean, we have already created python 2.7 virtual environment.
                          Is it possible to move with filezilla all dependances that we have in appname/lib/python2.7 and ~/lib/python2.7, directly in env/lib/python2.7/site-packages?

                          The projects don't have a requirements.txt file for use pip.

                          • sean replied to this.

                              joshuccr no, sorry - they must be installed with pip. If you're not sure how to do this feel free to email support so that we can look at exactly what you have.

                                  sean Sorry, Sean I checked the backups again and we have two requiriments files :
                                  /appname/lib/python2.7
                                  ~/lib/python2.7
                                  We are going to try to install using pip.

                                  And again, Thank you a lot.

                                      sean Thanks 😃

                                      Well we created a virtual env and install all dependances of both projects and we obtained this error when we run Apache2 (we changed in httpd.conf this:
                                      /home/{OpalUser}/apps/{myapp}/lib/python2.7 -> /home/{OpalUser}/apps/{myapp}/env)

                                      We didn't install this dependance in our requiriment file.

                                          joshuccr either Django is not installed, or the wrong version of Django is installed.

                                          Check your WF libs to get the Django version from there, then make sure you have that version installed into your env.

                                              sean THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE ACHIVED
                                              Finally we get one place working.
                                              So now I can replicate the proccess with other projects.

                                              Thank you very much and sorry for all questions. 😃
