Answer 1

it seems you're using the the in-built Django webserver that is meant for development purposes but not the best for production follow the steps below Deploy Django Applications on windows server using XAMPP

Prerequisite: make sure that your project already have a virtual environment, and you copied your project folder into C:\xampp\htdocs.

also you might need windows 10 sdk installed.

Step 1:

first we should set mod wsgi apache rootdir to our xampp apache directory , so in you cmd type:

set “MOD_WSGI_APACHE_ROOTDIR=c:\xampp\apache”

Step 2:

activate your project environment

Step 3:

In your virtual environment type:

pip install mod_wsgi

Step 4:

then type this:

mod_wsgi-express module-config

the output result should be something like this:

LoadFile “c:/python37–32/python37.dll” LoadModule wsgi_module “c:/python37–32/lib/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi.cp37-win32.pyd” WSGIPythonHome “c:/python37–32”

Step 5:

open http.conf file and copy to LoadFile and LoadModule from previous step on it

Step 6:

copy this lines in http.conf too:

#path to wsgi.py file #the first “/ “ indicates the root url

WSGIScriptAlias / “C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project_folder/your_project/wsgi.py”

#the one that you get from step 4

WSGIPythonHome “c:/python37–32”

#website path

WSGIPythonPath “C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project_folder”

#directory of website

<Directory “C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project_folder/your_project”>

Require all granted

Step 7:

Restart your xampp and enjoy
