Django settings import error

Question

I'm getting an import error from apache running on RHEL server

ImportError: Could not import settings 'FLWeb.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named settings

The app run properly with django server and also works on a CentOS 7 machine (with apache and mod_wsgi).

my wsgi.py

import os
import sys

root = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')
sys.path.insert(0, root)

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = 'FLWeb.settings'

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

the .conf file

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/evtdb/FLWeb/FLWeb/wsgi.py

WSGIDaemonProcess localhost python-path=/home/evtdb/FLWeb:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup localhost

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>

        <Directory /home/evtdb/FLWeb/FLWeb>
        <Files wsgi.py>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Files>
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I've tried different "sys.path" options on wsgi.py to import settings but just doesnt work

EDIT

Problem was settings.py permissions, i changed them to 644. Now i got this error

[Wed Feb 25 17:23:45 2015] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 78, in populate

Answer 1

Finally the problem was about file permissions. As I didnt got a "(13) Permission Denied": wasnt as evident as it should be.

Check this https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/13PermissionDenied

Typical permissions on a unix-like system for resources not owned by the User or Group specified in httpd.conf would be 644 rw-r--r- for ordinary files and 755 drwxr-xrx for directories or CGI scripts. You may also need to check extended permissions (such as SELinux permissions) on operating systems that support them.
