I faced a similar problem and here is how I solved it: To Install LAMP:

   sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
 // then do more from here:
   //https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
 // If you will run python services then : 
       apt-get install python-mysqldb 
//and for python 3 install: 
   sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev build-essential
   pip3.4 install mysqlclient  // for mysql       connection 
   sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev libmysqlclient-dev

   pip3 install virtualenvwrapper
   sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
  //Set location of virtualenvs by pasting this in above: 
   export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs 
   source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
//Reload startup file:
  source ~/.bash_profile
   mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 myprojectenv
   workon myprojectenv
//then you can install packages you want using pip
//and copy myproject here

To DEPLOY a Django 1.7 App on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server with python3 and apache:

   sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
 //then configure your apache virtualhosts( here our project is   //myproject    and environment is myprojectenv):

Configure your virtual host in Daemon mode which is recommended:

    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAdmin youradmin@yourdomain.com

    DocumentRoot /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/public_html


    

     
     Require all granted
    
    

    ErrorLog /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/logs/access.log  combined
    WSGIScriptAlias /  /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py

    WSGIDaemonProcess myproject python- path=/home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/prisec:/home/user/.virtualenvs/m yprojectenv/lib/python3.4/site-packages

    WSGIProcessGroup myproject
    Alias /static /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/public_html/static

    
     Require all granted
    
     Alias /media
  /home/user/.virtualenvs/myprojectenv/public_html/media
       
     Require all granted
    

Restart Apache . the directories in virtualhost configuration file must exist in the virtual environment created.
