Apache and Django

Question

I have RHEL 6 running Apache and a Django application connected via WSGI. When I run service httpd start, I get a segmentation fault (in my error logs) and it reports something about "Premature end of script headers". However, when I run /usr/sbin/httpd, the site runs without errors and my Django project runs just fine.

What is the difference between these two? Is it possible I accidentally have two installations of Apache on my machine (and how could I tell)?

I'm just trying to make sure this is as clean as possible, and to remove any errors I might have...

Answer 1

I have determined that it has something to do with the environment variables. When running Apache with the service command, it disables most environment variables - but doing so the other way doesn't. It comes down to how the Django app is written and what variables are needed (globally)
