You can't be using exactly that, as mod_wsgi would complain about the repeating
use of 'proj_name' in each VirtualHost as you can only use it once for a daemon
process group.
If you intend to use daemon mode, with one Django instance handling all
requests for all host names, you should be using:
WSGIRestrictEmbedded On
WSGIScriptAlias /path /path/to/wsgi-file.wsgi
WSGIRestrictEmbedded proj_name processes=10 threads=1
WSGIProcessGroup proj_name
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub1.host.com
# subdomain-specific logging, etc
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub2.host.com
# subdomain-specific logging, etc
</VirtualHost>
That is, one instance of WSGIDaemonProcess outside of all virtual hosts.
You are also not showing that you are using WSGIProcessGroup, which means you
are actually running everything in embedded mode. Worse is that you weren't
using WSGIApplicationGroup to force use of main interpreter context using
%{GLOBAL}, meaning that every site had its own Django instance in a separate
sub interpreter. Multiply that by the number of Apache child worker processes
and you would have had a huge number of instances and likely every request was
loading a new one until all processes had been primed with a copy of all.
The WSGIRestrictEmbedded is to ensure nothing accidentally runs in embedded
mode, by disabling its use.
Do be aware you are still going to have 10 copies of your application because
daemon mode is set to 10 processes and one thread.
If your application is thread safe, a single thread per process is not usually
a good idea, unless your application is super CPU intensive, which they aren't.
Usually better to have 3-5 threads. So I would suggest processes=5 threads=3 as
starting point.
BTW, can you confirm that the target WSGI script file is the same for each
virtual host.
