Deploying GeoDjango

===================

Basically, the deployment of a GeoDjango application is not different from

the deployment of a normal Django application. Please consult Django's

:doc:`deployment documentation </howto/deployment/index>`.

.. warning::

    GeoDjango uses the GDAL geospatial library which is

    not thread safe at this time.  Thus, it is *highly* recommended

    to not use threading when deploying -- in other words, use an

    appropriate configuration of Apache.

    For example, when configuring your application with ``mod_wsgi``,

    set the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` attribute ``threads`` to ``1``, unless

    Apache may crash when running your GeoDjango application.  Increase the

    number of ``processes`` instead.
