I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.
I create a django project under /home/wong2/Code/python/django2/
named atest
and create a wsgi file setting.wsgi
in the same directory
Here is the content of setting.wsgi
:
import os
import sys
path = '/home/wong2/Code/python/django2'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "atest.settings"
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
application = WSGIHandler()
and here is what I add to my my httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/wong2/Code/python/django2/setting.wsgi
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/wong2/Code/python/django2/atest">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The problem is, when I visit http://localhost, it says
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Thanks a lot.
The second directory block doesn't match where you have your WSGI script file installed. It is very bad practice though to stick the WSGI script file in a location where source code or other sensitive files exist, ie., same directory or sub directory. Instead you should stick it in a sub directory of its own. Thus:
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/wong2/Code/python/django2/atest/apache/setting.wsgi
<Directory "/home/wong2/Code/python/django2/atest/apache">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
So, create 'apache' subdirectory under 'atest'. Move 'setting.wsgi' into that 'apache' subdirectory and change config to above.
Your problem also may be caused by restrictive permisions on your home directory as Apache cannot see inside.
Go watch:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/WhereToGetHelp?tm=6#Conference_Presentations
as it explains these permissions problems as well as issues like where to stick your code and the WSGI script file.
