Answer 1

As I said in the comments, you're not doing anything to add your project to the PYTHONPATH so that the WSGI app can actually find it.

It seems from your directory structure that you're using a virtualenv; you need to activate that either within the .wsgi file or in the Apache configuration itself. The Django docs recommend the latter .

Answer 2

finally I could successfully deploy my project.I enabled Apache this module early.

I think this will be help to other Django developers.Thank you all developers those who help me.

Answer 3

In your wsgi.py try changing

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

to

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

Since both files are in the same directory/module.
