Hello,
I'm new to mod_wsgi (and I am not a programmer, so please bear with me). I
have a Django/Python application that was written by someone else that I
have deployed using mod_wsgi 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS with Apache 2.4.7,
using the following in my apache config:
#Django WSGI
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/transfergateway/myproject/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /var/www/transfergateway
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName *redacted*
<Directory /var/www/transfergateway>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
The application is running fine using mod_wsgi and apache.
However, I want to make this application more secure, so I would like to
have mod_wsgi run in a chroot jail. I created a chroot jail using the
instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot and copied
the application into /var/chroot/var/www/transfergateway . Then, in the
chroot, I installed python2.7 and used pip install to install the python
packages used in the project (as far as I can tell).
I have created a new Apache config:
#test chroot jail for Django WSGI
WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName *redacted*
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/chroot/var/www/transfergateway/myproject/wsgi.py
WSGIProcessGroup chroot
WSGIDaemonProcess chroot user=daemon group=daemon processes=2 threads=25
chroot=/var/chroot
<Directory /var/chroot/var/www/transfergateway/myproject/>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
But I am getting the following errors in the Apache error log upon startup:
Target WSGI script '/var/www/transfergateway/myproject/wsgi.py' cannot be
loaded as Python module.
Exception occurred processing WSGI script
'/var/www/transfergateway/myproject/wsgi.py'.
Traceback (most recent call last):

from django.utils.encoding import force_str
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/encoding.py",
line 4, in <module>

ImportError: No module named datetime
I appreciate any advice on what I am doing wrong here. Do I have my chroot
set up properly? Do I need to do anything with permissions on /var/chroot
or /var/chroot/var/www/transfergateway? Do I need to run mod_wsgi as a
different user than daemon?
thanks in advance for any help!
