Question

Im trying to configure my Django site so that it is served by Apache.

Folder Layout

`-- django
    |
    `-- webtools
        |-- 1
        |-- __init__.py
        |-- __init__.pyc
        |-- apache
        |   `-- django.wsgi
        |-- macmonster
        |   |-- __init__.py
        |   |-- __init__.pyc
        |   |-- models.py
        |   |-- models.pyc
        |   |-- tests.py
        |   |-- views.py
        |   `-- views.pyc
        |-- manage.py
        |-- modules
        |   |-- __init__.py
        |   |-- __init__.pyc
        |   |-- macaddr.py
        |   |-- macaddr.pyc
        |   |-- validate.py
        |   `-- validate.pyc
        |-- settings.py
        |-- settings.pyc
        |-- urls.py
        `-- urls.pyc

/etc/httpd/conf.d/django.conf

<VirtualHost *:80 >
  ServerName direct.macmonster.co.uk
  WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/django/webtools/apache/django.wsgi
</VirtualHost>

/opt/django/webtools/apache/django.wsgi

import os, sys

sys.path.append('/opt/django/webtools')
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")

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

The main error Im currently getting within the logs is :

TemplateSyntaxError: Caught ImportError while rendering: No module named webtools.macmonster

Thanks,

If webtools is your top-level package, you should add /opt/django to the sys.path, not /opt/django/webtools.
