How to troubleshoot - ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' when deploying django?

Question

I\'ve had my django app deployed and working perfectly with apache and mod_python, according to the apache deployment instructions. But since I changed the project structure

Answer 1

for my Django 1.5 and mod_wsgi, I resolved it like this:

httpd.conf:

WSGIScriptAlias /mysite "/var/www/html/mysite/mysite/wsgi.py"
WSGIPythonPath  "/var/www/html/mysite/mysite"

    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all

wsgi.py:
the sys.path.append(path) to let mysite.settings known

import os
import sys                                              #new
path = '/var/www/html/mysite'                           #new
if path not in sys.path:                                #new
    sys.path.append(path)                               #new

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

another thing, to avoid error like below

Premature end of script headers: wsgi.py

you need remove cgi configure from httpd.conf

AddHandler cgi-script .py
