Unless you're doing unusual things, there's no reason to run both apache and nginx.

Nginx + gunicorn is likely to work better than apache + modwsgi at this point in time.

Gunicorn deployment docs are here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/gunicorn/

and the nginx config for deploying that is here:
