In recent days, I have been thinking about creating a Django project, just because Django can be used without the effort of background administration. In the past few days, I have been using Django’s own HTTP server for debugging, but I may need to deploy some things first, in order to be closer to the real server environment. Decided to give it a try with FastCGI. The server chose Nginx and, for lazy people’s sake, tried it on their own Windows. First, make sure you have Python and Django installed on your computer. Next, we need two components, the Nginx server and flup (Python FastCGI component). Flup download address: www.saddi.com/software/fl… Unlike Linux, nginx runs as an application on Windows, not as a service. (No wonder no one uses nginx on Windows servers.) Unzip both packages into C:\nginx\, C:\flup\ (optional directory, Nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx: nginx

The final step is to run the Nginx server and use FastCGI to run your Django project

Go to nginx directory:

cd
c:\nginx\
start nginx

Then go to http://loaclhost/ in your browser and you should see the nginx welcome screen. Finally, go to the root directory of your Django project and run the server with the following command:

[Bash shell]

Python manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=8051




Refresh the localHost page and you’ll see your project’s home page


Add a bit of nginx command under Windows OS (from official documentation)
