Question

I created a virtualenv named ‘pyapps‘ and installed pinax and django in it.I’ve installed apache 2 and mod_wsgi.I created a directory named ‘apache‘ inside my django project(testproject) and put ‘django.wsgi‘ file inside that directory.Here is the content of my wsgi file:

import os
import sys

# put the Django project on sys.path
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "../../")))

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'textpisodes.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Then I created a directory ‘/check/www‘ and put my project folder and pyapps folder inside ‘/check/www‘.I chmoded 777 on /check/www.

Finally I created a virtual host,it’s content is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin myemail
    ServerName djangoserver

    WSGIDaemonProcess textpisodes user=rajat threads=10 python-path=/check/www
    WSGIProcessGroup textpisodes

    WSGIScriptAlias / /check/www/textpisodes/apache/django.wsgi
    <Directory /check/www/textpisodes/apache>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now when I try to access ‘http://djangoserver’,all I’m getting is Internal Server Error.Here are the contents of my apache log file.

Answer 1

You need to add your virtual environment path so that apache/python can find modules there.

Either put this in your apache configuration (outside of VirtualHost entry)

WSGIPythonPath /home/me/virtualenv/env1/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Or put it in the sys.path in your wsgi file.
