Apache mod_wsgi error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server

Question

I\'m using Ubuntu 10.04.
I create a django project under /home/wong2/Code/python/django2/ named atest
and create a wsgi file setting.

Answer 1

I had the same problem due to restricted file permissions.

By default your home folder user has the settings:

ls -l /home/

drwx------ 36 user user 12288 Nov 28 20:56 user

meaning that no one else but yourself is able to even browse that folder.

Adding execute option to the folder fixed my problem

chmod o+x /home/user/
ls -l /home/

drwx-----x 36 user user 12288 Nov 28 20:56 user
