It has been a very long time since I have logged onto a WebFaction system so my 
memory of it is very slim.

There are also two approaches one can take to getting you running on a newer 
mod_wsgi version.

I therefore need you to do a title bit of home work for me so I know how 
WebFaction is currently setting up the system and can advise the best path 
forward.

The first thing we need to work out is whether the WebFaction Apache 
installation is a complete installation, or whether it is missing the header 
files and build tools required to even allow you to build mod_wsgi from source 
code. If they are missing, then there may not be a lot you can do.

So, can you see if you get anything when you run:

    which apxs

If this doesn't find where apxs is installed, we need to work out where the 
Apache being used may even be installed.

I have a vague recollection they have their own installation under /usr/local 
somewhere.

According to:

    http://docs.webfaction.com/software/django/config.html#django-restarting

which although Django specific is I believe not too much different even if 
using another framework, you should have a few admin scripts they generate to 
allow you to start and stop Apache.

Find therefore the equivalent for your system for:

    $HOME/webapps/django_app/apache2/bin/

What is in that directory:

    ls -las $HOME/webapps/django_app/apache2/bin/

There should be start, stop and restart scripts at least.

What is in the 'start' script itself.

Also what else is under the 'apache2' directory:

    ls -las $HOME/webapps/django_app/apache2

With that information, can then work out where to look next for what else I 
need to know.
