OK. we are getting closer if not already there. The cookiecutter distro
which I am using does not have BASE_DIR defined at all, not in common.py or
local.py
The directory structure they use is
repo_root/
config/
settings/
common.py
local.py
manage.py
so BASE_DIR is actually 2 directories up from what you define it to be. The
cookiecutter-django settings module has the following line ( which is the
correct location, but the wrong name):
ROOT_DIR = environ.Path(__file__) - 3 #
(guidewire/config/settings/common.py - 3 = guidewire/)
so an easy fix is to modify my common.py to:
ROOT_DIR = BASE_DIR = environ.Path(__file__) - 3 #
(guidewire/config/settings/common.py - 3 = guidewire/)
except... if I do this I generate another error:
$ python manage.py runmodwsgi --log-to-terminal
Successfully ran command.
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/opt/Envs/guidewire/lib/python3.5/posixpath.py", line 64, in isabs
return s.startswith(sep)
AttributeError: 'Path' object has no attribute 'startswith'
But, if instead I hardcode BASE_DIR to the correct path, runmodwsgi runs
and serves my django site!!!
So the issue with the error thrown above is that the django settings module
that cookiecutter provides uses the django-environ project, so environ.Path
is in fact an environ.environ.Path object, not a string. so the string
methods in os.path fail...
It's an easy enough fix
BASE_DIR = ROOT_DIR.root
and I don't believe this is mod_wsgi's problem, but rather my own.
I'll probably bring this up in the cookiecutter-django community.
Thanks for all your help. I'm now up and running.
