在Apache虚拟主机上部署Django：404

Question

I know there are a lot of articles talking about this issue, but I keep getting a 404 error when deploying a Django site through Apache virtual host. Here is my .conf file:

Listen 8001
<VirtualHost *:8001>
  ServerName www.myhostname.com/basic
  ServerAdmin caisj@example.com

  ProxyRequests Off
  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  DocumentRoot /home/browser/BASIC/basic

  Alias /static /home/browser/BASIC/basic/static
  Alias /media /home/browser/BASIC/_py/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.4-py2.6.egg/django/contrib/admin/media

  WSGIScriptAlias /basic /home/browser/BASIC/basic/basic.wsgi
  ErrorLog /home/browser/BASIC/basic/log/basic.error.log

  LogLevel info
  CustomLog /home/browser/BASIC/basic/log/basic.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I have tried different combinations of the "ServerName" and other parameters, but when visiting www.myhostname.com/basic, I keep getting a 404 error. The Apache restarts successfully and the log file contains no clues.

Or could anybody help to tell where to find errors? Thanks.

You have set this up to listen on port 8001 and rooted at /basic , so you need to access www.myhostname.com:8001/basic .

Note that you shouldn't set DocumentRoot to the location of your Django files. It isn't necessary to serve a Django app, and it could potentially be a security risk - a misconfiguration could mean that your code files, including any db passwords, might be served.
