The pinax documents have sample .wsgi scripts and deployment configuration
info that has worked for me. My .wsgi script, placed in a subdirectory of the
directory looks like:
--------------------------------------------
import os, sys
sys.stdout = sys.stderr
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
from site import addsitedir
sys.path.insert(0, abspath(join(dirname(__file__), "../../")))
from django.conf import settings
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "name_of_project_directory.settings"
sys.path.insert(0, join(settings.PINAX_ROOT, "apps"))
sys.path.insert(0, join(settings.PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
application = WSGIHandler()
-----------------------------------------------
Replace name_of_project_directory with the name of your project directory
in DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE, or use
os.basename(os.dirname(os.dirname(__file__))) + '.settings'
