<h1>Getting Started<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-started" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>If starting out with mod_wsgi it is recommended you start out with a simple
‘Hello World’ type application.</p>
<p>Do not attempt to use a Python web application dependent on a web framework
such as Django, Flask or Pyramid until you have got a basic ‘Hello World’
application running first. The simpler WSGI application will validate that
your mod_wsgi installation is working okay and that you at least understand
the basics of configuring Apache.</p>
<p>You can find a simple ‘Hello World’ WSGI application, along with setup
instructions for the traditional way of setting up Apache and mod_wsgi,
described in the <a class="reference internal" href="user-guides/quick-configuration-guide.html"><span class="doc">Quick Configuration Guide</span></a>. For a bit
more in-depth information and additional examples see the
<a class="reference internal" href="user-guides/configuration-guidelines.html"><span class="doc">Configuration Guidelines</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note that unless you are using Windows, where such a choice is not
available, you should always use daemon mode of mod_wsgi. This is not the
default mode, so you will need to ensure you follow the instructions to
enable daemon mode.</p>
<p>For a simpler way of running a Python WSGI application using mod_wsgi, also
checkout <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mod_wsgi-express</span></code>, details of which can currently be found at:</p>
