Answer 1

This line is certainly wrong:

sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django')

Install Django with/for the version of Python that mod_wsgi was built against.

Answer 2

Hello!

If you use deb-distributive of Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, etc), edit the file

/etc/apache2/modules/wsgi.load

This file contained path to correct wsgi-library (for active version Python interpreter). If you use Python2.6, change string

LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so-2.7

to

LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so-2.6

Also, you can change soft link to mod_wsgi module:

cd /usr/lib/apache2/modules
ln -s mod_wsgi.so-2.6 mod_wsgi.so

Not forget change link to file in /etc/apache2/modules/wsgi.load and restart apache server

service apache2 restart

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

Answer 3

Wrong:

WSGIDaemonProcess www.example.com python-path=~/virtualenvs/virt1/lib/python2.7

Right:

WSGIDaemonProcess www.example.com python-path=/home/user/virtualenvs/virt1/lib/python2.7

I spent way too much time trying to figure out why my virtualenv wasn't loading django properly.

Answer 4

I solved the problem by adding location of site-packages, where I have kept django subdirectory (/Library/python/2.7/site-packages) to WSGIDaemonProcess:

WSGIDaemonProcess www.example.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} 
    python-path=/Library/python/2.7/site-packages

If you are using embedded server mode use in httpd.conf:

WSGIPythonPath /Library/python/2.7/site-packages
