my django.wsgi:

import os
import sys

sys.path.append('/srv/www/quickerhub.com/')

os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/srv/www/quickerhub.com.python-egg'
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

my httpd.conf:

my sites-enabled/quickerhub.com:

WSGIPythonPath /srv/www/quickerhub.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName quickerhub.com

    Alias /static/ /srv/www/quickerhub.com/interest/static/
    WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/www/quickerhub.com/interest/django.wsgi

    <Directory />
        AllowOverride None
        Options -Indexes
    </Directory>


</VirtualHost>

I feel like everything is pointing to the correct stuff...

EDIT:

Now just getting a 404 file not found

Please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

I just setup my site www.noobniche.com on Linode using WSGI. Unfortunately I'm not at home to compare my setup, if you're still having problems tonight I can look into it. From memory in my case, I had to enable by adding to sites-enabled and sites-available.

the structure should look something similar to this;

webapps(root directory)
    nichesite
        static
        django_project_name
            --> myproject.wsgi
            --> settings.py
            --> urls.py
            --> views.py
        manage.py

it seems your .wsgi file is located in your root directory, when it should be located within your django project folder.

Answer 2

So it looks as if you have conflicting settings for WSGIScriptAlias - one in httpd.conf, pointing to the right path for your wsgi file, and one in your sites-enabled file, pointing to the wrong path (/var/ instead of /srv/).

You should remove the one in httpd.conf and move it to sites-enabled/quickerhub.com so that the version there is correctly pointing to /srv/.
