You need to also add:

sys.path.append('.../xampp/htdocs')

for a start.

BTW, very very bad to be putting Django site under htdocs (document root) of web server. This can make your source code include settings file with database password downloadable depending on other Apache configuration.

Also, make sure you Apache is working first by using a WSGI hello world program rather than Django site.

Have you configured mod_wsgi in Apache configuration file ?
