Target WSGI script cannot be loaded as Python module Raspberry Pi

I'm using a raspberry pi with debian linux mod_wsgi and flask. I used this tutorial to set everything up and the python script will run if I run the command 

python myFile.py

However, when I try to run it from apache I get an HTTP 500 error.

This is my wsgi file:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)

sys.path.insert(0,'/var/www/FlaskApp/')

from FlaskApp import app as application

this is my .conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
                ServerName (my-server-ip)
                ServerAdmin (my-Email)
                WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/FlaskApp/flaskapp.wsgi
                <Directory /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/>
                        Order allow,deny
                        Allow from all
                </Directory>
                Alias /static /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/static
                <Directory /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/static/>
                        Order allow,deny
                        Allow from all
                </Directory>
                ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
                LogLevel warn
                CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

these are the permissions on the wsgi file

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  211 Jul 30 18:51 flaskapp.wsgi

I've looked at many different tutorials but have yet to find a solution...

I am sure that I am not running a virtual environment for my python file and know that that could be an issue but am unsure how to solve that. Thanks for the help in advance.

this is the error that Im getting:

This answer came from Graham Dumpleton:

When using python 2 there must be a file named __init__.py in the project folder! In my case the path to that folder happened to be /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp.
