Issue configuring apache2

    Hello everyone!
    I deployed 2 applications on an EC2 instance: 1) A Python application developed with Django 2) A web site

    First I deployed my Python application and it worked correctly, as I could invoke a REST API with a GET on <ip>/rest/combo and I could also access static resources. Then I deployed my website both were working correctly, as I could access my website at the IP and at the same time I could invoke my REST API as before, as well as I could access static resources. Last step was to set the DNS records on GoDaddy to let my domain name point to my website. After this was done, an I am finding an issue on my Python application: REST APIs gives me a 404 error both on <ip>/rest/combo and <domain-name>/rest/combo, while static resources keep being served.

    I created two configuration files in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled:

    1) For Python:

    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/MyPythonApplication/wsgi.py
    WSGIPythonPath /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication
    <Directory /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/MyPythonApplication>
    <Files wsgi.py>
    Order deny,allow
    Require all granted
    </Files>
    </Directory>

    Alias /media/ /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/media/
    Alias /static/ /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/static/

    <Directory /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/static>
    Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/ubuntu/MyPythonApplication/media>
    Require all granted
    </Directory>​

    One for my website:

    Alias / /home/ubuntu/MyWebsite/

    <Directory /home/ubuntu/MyWebsite>
    Require all granted
    </Directory>​

    I understand that the issue is on the Alias as both configuration files refer / (if I change it on my website configuration file, rest APIs work again).

    I don't have an domain name for the rest APIs. How can I fix this?

    Why do you need the / alias? I'm just wondering, since I've never used it. The default root (/) is the directory defined in the <Directory>part, isn't it?

    Actually, I am not sure I need all that piece of configuration. This is my first Django deploy experience, so when it worked I just stopped changing things.
    So, maybe I just don't need the alias?

    I don't think you do. This isn't Django-related, though, this is Apache related. Django shouldn't bother with these specifics at all.
