Django is a great web framework and we have several ways to deploy it in production.

You can use apache too for example, but for django my favorite is nginx + gunicorn.

Nginx is a well-known player and it will be used as front-end. Gunicorn is not as well-known, but it has proved to be quite stable (instagram and pinterest use it).

Installation:

yum install nginx
pip install gunicorn

Previously you have to have installed python pip and epel repository.

Next step is to run gunicorn, which is quite easy. As we are going to run it with a django project, it is possible to use gunicorn_django 

cd /path/to/your/django/project
gunicorn_django --workers=4 -b 127.0.0.1:8888 -D

And that is it. We have told gunicorn to run with 4 workers (processes), to listen on localhost:8888 and to run in background with -D.

Last step is to configure a server for nginx:

upstream app_server_djangoapp {
    server localhost:8888 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name  server.com;

        access_log  /path/log/access.log;
        error_log  /path/log/error.log info;

    keepalive_timeout 5;

    # path for static folder
    location /static {
        root /path/to/static/;
    }
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;

        if (!-f $request_filename) {
            proxy_pass http://app_server_djangoapp;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Restart nginx:

service nginx restart

Our django site is deployed, as easy as that.
