Chris Dent 8691ba8086 Allow pecan debug middleware to be turned off
The Pecan DebugMiddleware is turned on or off based on the
ceilometer.conf-wide debug setting. This is not useful for situations
where running ceilometer-api under mod_wsgi with multiple processes
is desired.

This change adds a pecan_debug setting to the api section of config,
defaulting to the DEFAULT debug value. mod_wsgi install docs updated
accordingly.

Configuration docs have not yet been udpated. They will be pending a
fix to bug 1370030

Closes-Bug: #1370009

====================================
Installing the API Behind mod_wsgi
====================================
Ceilometer comes with a few example files for configuring the API
service to run behind Apache with ``mod_wsgi``.
app.wsgi
========
The file ``ceilometer/api/app.wsgi`` sets up the V2 API WSGI
application. The file is installed with the rest of the ceilometer
application code, and should not need to be modified.
etc/apache2/ceilometer
======================
The ``etc/apache2/ceilometer`` file contains example settings that
work with a copy of ceilometer installed via devstack.
.. literalinclude:: ../../../etc/apache2/ceilometer
1. Copy or symlink the file to ``/etc/apache2/sites-avilable``.
2. Modify the ``VirtualHost`` directive, setting a hostname or IP for
the service. The default settings assume that the ceilometer API is
the only service running on the local Apache instance, which
conflicts with Horizon's default configuration.
3. Modify the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` directive to set the
``user`` and ``group`` values to a user available on your server.
4. Modify the ``APACHE_RUN_USER`` and ``APACHE_RUN_GROUP`` values to
the name of a user and group available on your server.
5. Enable the ceilometer site.
::
$ a2ensite ceilometer
$ service apache2 reload
Limitation
==========
As Ceilometer is using Pecan and Pecan's DebugMiddleware doesn't support
multiple processes, there is no way to set debug mode in the multiprocessing
case. To allow multiple processes the DebugMiddleware may be turned off by
setting ``pecan_debug`` to ``False`` in the ``api`` section of
``ceilometer.conf``.
