David, I was having the same issue for a little while. It stemmed from not having postgres install correctly during the ubuntu installation (I also had the postgis default name set incorrectly, but I doubt that is an issue for you).
Correctly installed postgres: Did you use the ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh script for setup? I found an issue with that script and I'm not sure that it has been resolved yet. There are two tar commands that are used to unpack the postgis installation, and they need to have "sudo" added to them. Without sudo, postgis is not unpacked correctly (permissions issues), and so your postgres database does not have spatial abilities, e.g. no geometry tables. As you see, you can see the database, but you'll there are no spatial abilities. Here's a version of the ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh with those sudo commands added, http://www.adamcfcox.com/ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh, or you can just modify the script that you have downloaded. Rerun that install script and see if that solves your issue. OR, if you are using AWS EC2 services, you can find the AMI that I put up with all of the dependencies already installed. (If you do that, I'd like to know if it works for you!) As for using Apache2, I have successfully deployed with Apache2, but that was after solving the issue above, so hopefully it'll get working after that. I see your other question about the settings.py files. No, those files don't have to have the same values, here's why: There are actually three settings.py files in play--one in the arches package in ENV site-packages, one in the arches_hip package in the same directory, and then the one in your own app. The settings themselves are acquired by Django in the reverse order that I just listed them, so a new value for a certain variable, say, DEFAULT_MAP_ZOOM, in your own app will automatically override any DEFAULT_MAP_ZOOM variable in either of the other two settings.py files. Evidence of this can be found by tracing back the import statements at the top of each settings.py file. Also note that any app can also have a "local_settings.py" file that is imported at the end of the settings.py file, so that is an additional way to override certain variables. Hopefully Alexei can correct me if any of that information is incorrect... Good luck!
