Hi Dan,
Thanks for the tips. I think I've figured out what went wrong.
First up: no, I am not using a virtualenv. I was able to serve the
site using "./manage.py runserver" albeit a bit slow (due to load
issues I believe). So the problem ultimately was my mod_wsgi setup.
The fix:
For starters, my httpd.conf file was poorly configured. I had defined
the wrong user and group under the "WSGIDaemonProcess" directive.
Ultimately, what I should've done was used the defaults instead of
defining things. The documentation on the mod_wsgi wiki lead me to
think otherwise.
So my current config is as follows:
========================
httpd/conf.d/python.conf
========================
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGIDaemonProcess myapp
WSGIProcessGroup %{GLOBAL}
WSGIReloadMechanism Process
Alias /media/ /usr/local/www/media/
<Directory /usr/local/www/media>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /site_media/ /usr/local/www/site_media/
<Directory /usr/local/www/site_media>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias /snufkin /usr/local/django-apps/snufkin/apache/
django.wsgi
<Directory /usr/local/django-apps/myapp/apache>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
========================
My second issue was related to the first, I had the wrong user & group
for my django application. Chown-ing things to apache:apache did the
trick. I realize that all of these things are most likely trivial
issues and silly mistakes but my hope is that this post here may act
as an example should someone else make the same mistakes as I did.
