This is a short manual, which tells how to configure WSGI-Flask application and Apache server on your server or local machine.

1. Install Apache 2 and mod_wsgi lib:
   sudo apt-get install -y apache2
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi python-dev
   
2. Enable wsgi mod:
   sudo a2enmod wsgi
3. Edit your hosts file to create server name alias
   sudo gedit /etc/hosts
   Add this line to th your host file: 127.0.1.2 ecomap.new
4. Run following command:
   sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/ecomap.conf
   This command will create file ecomap.conf - this is config file of your site. You can set any name you want!
   Add content from apache.conf file, which is situated in - ecomap/etc/apache.conf to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ecomap.conf.
5. Enable your site:
   sudo a2ensite ecomap
6. Make your own copy of ecomap.wsgi (situated in ecomap/www/ecomap.wsgi). Also read comments in that file, since they are important! This is your main wsgi script which apache will use to run application. It has already configured for our project structure. You can set your own path to templates folder and you'll see test site.
7. views.py - this is main flask application file. All backend code will be written there. You can change everything right now!
