uWSGI and libxml2 conflicts (aka Installing uWSGI with a custom libxml2)

If you’re using uWSGI with XML support (this is its default), then it will be requiring you to have libxml2 installed — or something similar that provides xml-config. What you’ll find is some erratic behaviour (or complete failure) when attempting to serve an application that is also relying on libxml2, but a different version.

In my case, my original uWSGI was built with CentOS 5’s stock libxml2 library, but my Python application was using lxml, built with a custom version of libxml2 (via Buildout with the z3c.recipe.staticlxml recipe, in case you were curious). Because of these …

However, the documentation isn’t entirely clear exactly how one can correctly serve an application against a sub-directory — and have the application know its correct path such that it can create correct URLs.

Coming from a background of using the Cherokee webserver, uWSGI operated slightly differently within its configuration. This behaviour, as best I know, must have modified the given uWSGI parameters to correctly handle the sub-directory path. I haven’t looked into it, but it probably just does the same thing that …

Serving TileStache (or another app) using uWSGI against a web sub-directory

uWSGI is extremely promising as an application server given its huge range of options and supported platforms.  For me, however, just getting something seemingly simple up and running successfully was relatively confusing. I’d like to contribute to the documentation when I can, but thought a dedicated page about TileStache as a specific application (and associated configuration) was warranted. It does make more sense now, thankfully.

I want to serve my TileStache application at http://mydomain.com/tiles (taking careful note of the sub-directory present). I’ve chosen an INI-style configuration for my instance and here’s what the …
