Unable to deploy django with mod_wsgi & apache

Question

I'm unable to deploy my django site using mod_wsgi after aa few frustrating days of trying. Could someone sanity check these details and see if there's anything obviously wrong? This is my first Django deployment. Its been running file with python manage.py runserver 10.10.10.214:8080 but I cannot deploy

my wsgi.py file in /home/user/django/mysite (also where my settings.py etc are)

"""
WSGI config for myproject project.

It exposes the WSGI callable as a module-level variable named ``application``.

For more information on this file, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/deployment/wsgi/
"""

import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

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

my apache .conf file:

LoadModule wsgi_module /home/conf/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so #dont read into the locations too much - they are correct

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/user/django/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /home/user/django

<Directory /home/user/django/mysite>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>

I am forced to use a heavily pre-customized version of apache but the conf file above is included. Any help at all would be great.

Cheers, Arthur

Try this wsgi.py:

import os
import sys

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "mysite.settings"

sys.path.append('/home/user/django/mysite/')
sys.path.append('/home/user/django/')

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

And add this to your conf, before the alias:

WSGIDaemonProcess <process_name> processes=2 threads=15 user=<username> display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup <process_name>

The process name could be "mysite.com" or whatever. The user is a Linux user.
