Deploying a flask application is quite tricky. First make sure that you have installed apache2 and mongoDB.
The next step is to install flask:
pip install Flask
Next make a directory called "flask-dev". The content of this directory will be populated with every file in the Source folder on the git repo.
ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Open the host file:
vim /etc/hosts
Paste this line on top:
127.0.0.1 ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
This will direct the url to run the application that is running on the server
Navigate to:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
Make a file called "myapp.conf"
The content of this file will be:
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerName ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
WSGIDaemonProcess webtool user=flask group=www-data threads=5 home=/var/www/flask-dev/
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/flask-dev/myapp.wsgi
<directory /var/www/flask-dev>
WSGIProcessGroup webtool
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
WSGIScriptReloading On
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</directory>
</virtualhost>
Enable the virual host:
sudo a2ensite myapp.conf
Restart Apache:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
