No trick. I just want to know what people are using.

On my new server, I haven't gotten mod_webkit2 to work yet. The build
produces .slo and .lo files, but the Apache install only seems to
successfully load .so files.

I tried ModPython which worked great with one app, but becomes
schizophrenic if you have two applications including serving up the
opposite app for a given URL or reporting a 404 if the other app
doesn't have that path.

I'm running it for years in production on SUSE Linux, the stability and 
performance have been outstanding. Got it also running on Windows 
(precompiled dlls are shipped with Webware).

The build should also produce a .libs folder inside which you will find 
the .so file. Instead of copying it manually, you can also use "make 
install" to install it into the Apache modules directory and activate 
the module in the Apache config.

There are also other reasons for not using ModPython: The performance is 
not so great (http://wiki.w4py.org/webwarebenchmarks.html) and the 
project has just died 
(http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2010/06/modpython-project-is-now-officially.html).

Same here, but I'm on a new server and working with a new Webware
instance based on release 1.0.2.

Interesting. I didn't see the .libs directory at first. Is that an
apxs convention or are we doing that? Normally dot files are meant to
be semi-hidden, but I don't see why these files would be.

Good to know. Might want to add that last bit to the install guide.

It's apxs doing that. The rationale is probably that you shouldn't care, 
but use "apxs -i" to install (copy) the module.

Ok, will do that.

I am running the WSGI adapter with 1.1b1 on Ubuntu 10.04 and also using it on a W/7 test system.  Works well for me.
