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

try http://localhost/index.html does that show the apache page?

If you wsgi is configured on root correctly it wont.

You get that error message because you might be asking the webserver for the directory listing of www folder

edit:

My projects are always in

/var/pyproj//pysrc/ and server files i put in /var/py_proj//server/

Here is my go to wsgi script

import os, sys

import logging
logger =logging.getLogger("")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stderr)
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(levelname)-8s %(messages)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)

sys.stdout = sys.stderr
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
import site

PROJECT_ROOT = abspath(join(dirname(__file__), "../pysrc"))
SETTINGS_LOC = abspath(join(PROJECT_ROOT, ''))
site.addsitedir(SETTINGS_LOC)
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "settings"

from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)

sys.path.insert(0, join(PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler

application = WSGIHandler()

and i use a vhost.conf

WSGIDaemonProcess pinax_demo user=www-data group=www-data threads=10 python-path=/var/.virtualenvs/pinax_demo/lib/python2.6/site-packages


    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all


Alias /pinax_demo /var/py_proj/pinax_demo/server/pinax_demo.wsgi

    #WSGIProcessGroup must match the WSGIDaemonProcess
    WSGIProcessGroup pinax_demo
    SetHandler wsgi-script
    Options +ExecCGI

which i include in the sites-available folder in a file that looks like this

        DocumentRoot /var/www/

        
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
                Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
                DirectoryIndex index.php
                AllowOverride None
        

        ServerAdmin oto@example.com

        LogLevel error
        ErrorLog  /var/srv_logs/apache_error.log
        CustomLog  /var/srv_logs/apache_access.log combined
        #insert
        Include /var/py_proj/pinax_demo/server/vhost.conf
        Include /var/py_proj//server/vhost.conf
        Include /var/py_proj//server/vhost.conf

httpd.conf is empty. Apache is also terrible at sending static files so i have my apache setup on port 8080 and nginx setup on port 80 which forwards to apache. You should be able to just change the port on my sites-avaiable file to run it without nginx but i would not go live that way
