Steps I would take would be

  1. Run the dev server on your Media Template instance. If that runs successfully, it obviously is an error with your apache/nginx/whaever setup.
  2. I dont have experience running apps as FCGI, which it looks to em you are trying to do. It looks to me that somehow when Fcgi runs, it is unable to find your apps. So this is possibly a PYTHONPATH issue. Log/Print sys.path from your fcgi script and look there.
