Apache/Wsgi - Script timed out before returning headers

Question

I have a problem with Apache/wsgi on Ubuntu. I'm trying to serve a django site. I have already read all same issues on SO and other websites but i really can't fix it.

I got the same problem as other member. After 2 - 3 minutes the request ends with a 500 error and the log tell me : Script timed out before returning headers - wsgi.py.

Rights are ok, Apache 2.4.7, libapache2-mod-wsgi 4ubuntu2.1.14.04.2.

Thank you Graham Dumpleton !!

I added this to the Vhost :

WSGIDaemonProcess home=/home/repos

All work fine now :) Was a directory problem !
