I have now found extensive documentation as to why and how Apache has to be 
configured with Django and mod_wsgi here

This is a fine thing to do once you understand Django and know what
you're doing with it. But for a beginner's tutorial aimed at someone
who knows nothing about Django, the development server is far more
ideal since it avoids throwing in a pile of "oh, and before you even
start, go learn how to set up and run Apache and a bunch of other
stuff so that you can use a production server stack to learn Django"
:)

As such, the tutorial doesn't and shouldn't mention trying to set up
Apache or other production deployment setups. It should simply teach
people how to write Django applications and understand how the pieces
of the framework fit together.

The tutorial, by design, doesn't mention Apache at all. That's because it's 
heavily recommended that you use the built-in devserver for development, 
for precisely this reason. That's what it's for.

Ok... GREAT! Now it works :-) (well... sort of, more below... ) but I had 
to restart Apache to make config changes effective... is that "normal"?

I think important things like "you have to restart the webserver to make 
changes life" should go into the tutorial in *BIG RED LETTERS* 

Now I get a "regular" Django exception:

NameError: name 'admin' is not defined

"d:/wwwroot/djtest/djtest/" was already in system path, so I think you
should set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE like this:
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE",
"settings")

try it![?][?][?]

Sorry - but this does not help. Just to be sure that I'm not missing 
anything essential, this is all I have so far:

d:\djtest\
   manage.py
   data.sql
   \djtest\
  __init__.py
  settings.py
  urls.py
  wsgi.py

Am I correct to assume that this should be sufficient to call at least the 
/admin/ interface?

I have activated this in urls.py:  url(r'^admin/', 
include(admin.site.urls)),

And this in settings.py: 'django.contrib.admin',

But as django does not seem to be able to find settings.py... hm

Hi,

I'm new to django and python at the same time (Nightmare ) and
currently struggling to get a basic understanding of how everything
works and how the different components are connected to each other.

My setup is a s follows:

- Apache 2.2 running as a service under Windows 7
- mod_wsgi
- Python 2.7.3
- django 1.4.1
- web server docroot under d:\wwwroot
- test project under d:\wwwroot\djtest\djtest set up with

 django-admin.py startproject djtest


Basically I think that almost everything is set up correctly, things
like "python manage.py syncdb" work without probkems, I could activate
django.contrib.admin and create the database without errors - only if I
try to access the admin I get the following apache error.log:

mod_wsgi (pid=6804): Exception occurred processing WSGI script
'D:/wwwroot/djtest/djtest/wsgi.py'.
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Could not import settings 'djtest.djtest.settings' (Is
it on sys.path?): No module named djtest.djtest.settings


wsgi.py looks like this:


import os
import sys

path = 'd:/wwwroot/djtest/djtest/'
if path not in sys.path:
 sys.path.append(path)

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE",
"djtest.djtest.settings")


Try dropping this down to "djtest.settings". Also make sure you have a 
file in each of your folders called __init__.py


This tells Python the folder is part of the package.




# This application object is used by any WSGI server configured to
use this
# file. This includes Django's development server, if the
WSGI_APPLICATION
# setting points here.
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
