tilestache mod_python on parallels PLESK

Had a hard time getting tilestache running under mod_python on my plesk machine: 404 Not Found error :-(
(tested on plesk 11 / plesk 12)

This should work:

• make sure, mod_python is installed:
  • server settings > tools & settings > plesk > updates and upgrades > Add/Remove Components > Web hosting features > Apache mod_python module

• check domain settings:
  • Hosting Services > Domains > [yourdomain.tld] > Manage Hosting > Websites & Domains > show more > hosting settings > UNCHECK Python support
  • checking 'python support' leads plesk to add this to /var/www/vhosts/system/[yourdomain.tld]/conf/httpd.conf (httpd.conf is autogenerated by plesk and not editable by user!)

           <IfModule mod_python.c>
               <Files ~ (\.py$)>
                   SetHandler python-program
                   PythonHandler mod_python.cgihandler
               </Files>
           </IfModule>

• add custom httpd directives:
  • Hosting Services > Domains > [yourdomain.tld] > Manage Hosting > Websites & Domains > show more > Web Server Settings > Additional directives for HTTP

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/[yourdomain.tld]/httpdocs>
   AddHandler mod_python .py
   PythonHandler TileStache::modpythonHandler
   PythonOption config /etc/tilestache.cfg
</Directory>

tilestache and nginx on parallels PLESK

• make sure, nginx is installed:
  • server settings > tools & settings > plesk > updates and upgrades > Add/Remove Components > Web hosting features > Nginx web server and reverse proxy support

• add custom httpd directives:
  • Hosting Services > Domains > [yourdomain.tld] > Manage Hosting > Websites & Domains > show more > Web Server Settings > nginx settings
    • check 'Smart static files processing'
    • check 'Serve static files directly by nginx' and remove png from list
    • Additional nginx directives:
