This is supposed to be the fastest system for High-Volume sites

=== uWSGI ===
uWSGI allows different virtual hosts to reload their modules without restarting for other users.

==== Install uWSGI ====
Needs installing from Source:
{{{
apt-get install -y libxml2-dev make
wget http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-0.9.7.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf uwsgi-0.9.7.2.tar.gz
cd uwsgi-0.9.7.2
make
cp uwsgi /usr/local/bin
cd ..
}}}

==== Install Cherokee ====
Whilst there is a version in Squeee, better to install the latest to gain performance advantages on static content:
{{{
apt-get install -y gettext libgeoip-dev libssl-dev rrdtool
wget http://www.cherokee-project.com/download/1.2/1.2.98/cherokee-1.2.98.tar.gz
tar zxvf cherokee-1.2.98.tar.gz
cd cherokee-1.2.98
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
}}}

==== Configure Cherokee for uWSGI ====
{{{
cat << EOF > "/home/web2py/uwsgi.xml"
<uwsgi>
    <pythonpath>/home/web2py/</pythonpath>
    <app mountpoint="/">
        <script>wsgihandler</script>
    </app>
</uwsgi>
EOF
