Question

Ive wasted about 3 days trying to get apache working with django and getting very frustrated.
Ive read

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango

The configuration differs between the links and I suspect they are a bit outdated now with django 1.4
The error im facing in the apache log is

(13)Permission denied: access to / denied

Environment:

Python 2.62

Centos 6.2 on Windows Azure

Apache/2.2.15

Django 1.4

Paths:

/home/craig/django/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py

Permissions:

/home/ : drwxrwxr-x

/home/craig/ : drwxrwxr-x

/home/craig/django/ : drwxrwxr-x

/home/craig/django/myproject/ : drwxrwxr-x

/home/craig/django/myproject/myproject/ : drwxrwxr-x

/home/craig/django/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py: -rw-r–r–

Http.conf:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory /home/craig/django/myproject/myproject>

import os

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myproject.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

This problem was immediately fixed by disabling SELINUX by running the following command:
setenforce 0

This probably isnt best pratice, but for development purposes it did the job for me
