Question

I’m trying to deploy django using wsgi. But its not working. Will you please help me ? thank you

django.wsgi.py

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
sys.path.append('/home/me/project')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'project.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

    <VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName www.me.org
  ServerAlias *me.org

  Alias /admin_media /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media

  <Location /admin_media>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Location>

  Alias /media /var/www/media/

  <Location /media>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Location>

  WSGIScriptAlias / /home/me/project/apache/django.wsgi

  WSGIDaemonProcess me processes=2 maximum-requests=500 threads=1
  WSGIProcessGroup me

</VirtualHost>

Error Message

   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/me:
Invalid command 'PythonHandler', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
   ...fail!

UPDATE :Strange /etc/apache2/sites-enable/me

<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/home/me2'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE me.settings

Can I disable mod-python?

Answer 1

The /etc/apache2/sites-enable/me file is for modpython.

You’re using mod_wsgi.

Therefore. Remove the /etc/apache2/sites-enable/me and follow the documentation provided here
