Quick Setup - Python mod_wsgi and XAMPP

Note: i have Preinstalled 32 bit python 2.7 on windows8

1. Install XAMPP 1.7.7 from ( the latest XAMPP has apache 2.4 which isn't supported by mod_wsgi yet)
   sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP Windows/1.7.7/xampp-win32-1.7.7-VC9-installer.exe 
   
   
2. Download mod_wsgi.so from
   https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/downloads/detail?name=mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py27-3.3.so
3. rename the .so file to mod_wsgi.so
4. copy the mod_wsgi.so file to xampp/apache/modules directory (this is where all the other .so modules reside)
5. Edit the httpd.conf file from (C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf) and add the below code at the end of page:
   
   LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
   WSGIScriptAlias /<yourfoldername>"C:/xampp/htdocs/<yourfoldername>/"
   <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/<yourfoldername>">
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
   </Directory>
   
   
6. Now Write the below hello world code in a myapp.py file and save it in the htdocs/<yourfoldername>
    
   def application(environ, start_response):
       status = '200 OK'
       output = 'Hello World!'
   
       response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
                           ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
       start_response(status, response_headers)
       return [output]
7. visit your localhost/<yourfoldername>/myapp.py
   
   Cheers! on your first python WSGI application   !
