Hello all, I'm having some issues getting a basic django project in production mode.
I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS with the default versions of apache, python, mod_python, etc. - I've checked out the development version of Django in my home directory, i.e. /home/john-scott/workspace/django_src and I've symlinked it to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django as per the official installation instructions. - I've created a Django project in /home/john-scott/workspace/mysite following the tutorials exactly. The official documentation suggests keeping the django app code outside of /var/www for security purposes and to instead keep the code in a user directory (the specific example is '/home/mycode'). Everything works great with the development server. However, I've encountered nothing but problems trying to go 'live'. I'm using the following virtual host configuration, which again is modeled after the official docs: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.com #obviously not the real url ;) <Location "/"> SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonDebug On </Location> </VirtualHost> With this setup I get the following error: ImportError: No module named django In another thread (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/ browse_thread/thread/e44569d185e36284/) someone said there were permission problems but their solution was to place the django_src in / opt and change the symlink accordingly. If I follow this, then the first problem goes away but then I get the following error: EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings In the same thread the user also put the projects in /opt as well. The real problem seems to be the Apache configuration, so I'm not convinced the answer is to throw everything in /opt, especially since none of the official docs suggest to do such a thing (IIRC the user in that thread didn't have control over apache, so they had to be creative). I've followed all the official docs quite literally. Is the suggestion in the docs to keep your projects in /home/username incorrect? Or is there something about the Apache configuration in Ubuntu 6.06 that makes deployment a wee bit more complicated than the docs suggest? If so, should the official deployment guides have a note about these gotchas? Once I get this ironed out in a sane way I'd be happy to add a write-up to the SeverArrangements wiki page.
