: Django websocket app running alongside mod_wsgi app i have a Django project/website that hold 3 chatting application two of them is using HTTp request as a chatbot the uses views.py to retrieve

i have a Django project/website that hold 3 chatting application two of them is using HTTp request as a chatbot the uses views.py to retrieve the replay from the DataBase , and the third on is using Django channels and websockets as a normal basic one-to0one chatting app, connecting and echoing the messages worked perfectly but the problem is that when i try to send a message using Group() function in consumer.py it doesn't work.

So, i found out that the reason is that my websocket app doesn't seem to route correctly when running alongside my mod_wsgi app. So, the only solution is stopping my Apache,and then serving the whole app from your websockets port via the runserver command. When i did this the Group () worked, but the problem is i developed the whole website using Apache which it serves 2 of 3 apps in my Django website, the 3th one is using web sockets(and it took me a long time). I need both Apache and websockets in my Django project.

this is my Apache config:

Any ideas how to address this issue?

PS: someone told me that i need to switch to Nginx as my website configuration (How i can accomplish that?)
