    deploying web.py with nginx and mod_wsgi

    It is possible to deploy web.py with nginx using a mod_wsgi similar to the module for Apache.

    After compiling and installing nginx with mod_wsgi, you can easily get a web.py app up and running with the following config* (edit the paths and settings with your own):

    1. wsgi_python_executable  /usr/bin/python;
    3. server {
    4.     listen 80;
    5.     server_name www.domain_name.com domain_name.com;
    6.     root /path/to/your/webpy;
    8.     include /etc/nginx/wsgi_vars;
    9.     location / {
    10.         wsgi_pass /path/to/your/webpy/app.py;
    11.      }
    12. }

    *Note: This is a snippet of the relevant information to setup mod_wsgi for your web app and NOT a full config for running nginx.
