I seem to have a problem deploying django with mod_wsgi. In the past I've used mod_python but I want to make the change. I have been using Graham Dumpleton notes here http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango1, but it still seem to not work. I get a Internal Server Error.

django.wsgi file:

import os
import sys

sys.path.append('/var/www/html')
sys.path.append('/var/www/html/c2duo_crm')

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'c2duo_crm.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/c2duo_crm/apache/django.wsgi

Apache httpd file:

<Directory /var/www/html/c2duo_crm/apache>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

In my apache error log, it says I have this error This is not all of it, but I've got the most important part:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.python-eggs'

Python Eggs are module files that are contained within zip files. The Python Egg Cache is the directory where Python extracts them so it can run them. Currently you are trying to extract them to /.python-eggs but you don't have write access to either that directory, or to / if it doesn't exist.

You have two options, you can either create /.python-eggs and make it world writable (or at least writable by the user Apache is running as), or you can set PYTHON_EGG_CACHE (using the WSGIPythonEggs directive) to a directory where you do have write access.

# Avoid [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/.python-eggs' messages
import os

os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/tmp'
