使用mod_wsgi在apache上设置Django

Question

Trying to setup Django on apache on CentOS 6 using mod_wsgi but I'm not sure what I have setup wrong. I've tried alot of different setup guides but i always get the same error in the apache logs:

[Mon Mar 31 19:51:22 2014] [error] [client ::1] mod_wsgi (pid=39608): Target WSGI       script '/opt/django/movies/movies/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.

wsgi.py

import os

sys.path.append('/opt/django/movies/movies')
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/django/movies/movies/wsgi.py

The version of Django installed into the Python installation which mod_wsgi is using is an old version. The django.core.wsgi module didn't always exist.

You should work out what Python installation mod_wsgi is using and update the Django installed. See:

• http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/CheckingYourInstallation#Python_Installation_In_Use

BTW, do not set DocumentRoot such that your Django project lives under that directory, it is one step towards being a security problem where a slight misconfiguration of your Apache could expose all your source code, including the settings file with its passwords.
