The first day of the first Drupal Business Days is now over. We had two really exciting presentations — Saila Laitinen, our sales director, talked about Fruitful Partnerships and Ecosystems, and Janne Kalliola, CEO, discussed on Growing Drupal Organisations.

As usual, we’ve uploaded the presentations to Slideshare.net. They are also available below.

Installing Python with mod_wsgi on OS X Snow Leopard's default Apache

Most of the instructions here can be found elsewhere on the Internet, but I couldn’t find a comprehensive step-by-step guide that covered everything needed. So, here goes; this should cover everything you need to do to get going with Python, when starting with a stock OS X Snow Leopard Apache:

• Download mod_wsgi from http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DownloadTheSoftware?tm=2, and save it to your Desktop.
• Untar the archive, and install mod_wsgi:

  # cd ~/Desktop
  # tar xvfz mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
  # cd mod_wsgi-3.3
  # ./configure
  # make
  # sudo make install

• Then, edit your Apache main configuration file:

  # cd /etc/apache2
  # sudo nano httpd.conf

  Add the following line after the other LoadModule lines:

  LoadModule wsgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so

• Go back to the directory where you untarred the mod_wsgi source:

  # cd ~/Desktop/mod_wsgi-3.3
  # make clean

• Create new directories outside your webroot for storing the script files, and to be used as a separate webroot for python apps:

  # cd ~
  # mkdir wsgi_source
  # mkdir wsgi_web

• Save a test script in the new wsgi_source directory as test.wsgi:

  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]

• Create a new virtual host for your Python applications. Add this to your /etc/apache2/users/YOURUSERNAME.conf :

  <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName localpython
  
      DocumentRoot /Users/YOURUSERNAME/wsgi_web
  
      <Directory /Users/YOURUSERNAME/wsgi_web>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      </Directory>
  
      WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /Users/YOURUSERNAME/wsgi_source/test.wsgi
  
      <Directory /Users/YOURUSERNAME/wsgi_source>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      </Directory>
  </VirtualHost>

• Add this to your /etc/hosts:

  127.0.0.1 localpython

• Restart Apache:

  # sudo apachectl restart

• Go to http://localpython/myapp , and you should see your “hello world”. If you don’t, something has gone wrong. The easiest way to start debugging is to check your Apache error logs at /var/log/apache2/error_log
  

More instructions can be found on the mod_wsgi site.

Mobile and tablet apps are at the forefront of new innovation – the hottest concepts, the brightest people, and the savviest of customers are now converging in the mobile app space.

Apps provide a lot of potential for the industry: devices are ultra-personal, always on and always available; most notably people are easily inclined to spend money on and within mobile apps. App platforms support both high class user interfaces and easy integration to back-end systems.

However, there are some important considerations: for instance, the cost and the time-to-market required can pose challenges when developing mobile applications. Furthermore, an application needs to be developed on several mobile platforms separately.

Fortunately, there are solutions to reduce the time and the cost involved. The content-driven application development model discussed in this seminar allows some of the development to take place on the web, thus reducing cost and time spent dramatically in certain cases.

During the breakfast seminar Exove and Exove Design share their knowledge of application design and implementation. Exove’s partner, eZ Systems, shows how to use their eZ Publish CMS to radically reduce costs whilst Futureful and P2S Media Group showcase their iPad applications and related business cases.

We welcome you to enjoy the presentations and to discuss about content-driven application design and implementation.

Please note that the seminar will be held in Finnish. The seminar material will be available in English.
