It's very likely a permissions problem. Webserver processes tend to run under a special username (e.g. www-data) with very limited permissions - it's likely that this user does not have access to the socket file.

Without wsgi the app runs and connects to the database. When running it via wsgi, I get: OperationalError (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (13)") It might be relevant that I'm running the app and the db in Docker containers, sharing the directory with the socket file in between them. On the other hand, as running the app manually with runserver works well, I guess it must be something else. I tried every imaginable configuration, from the simplest described in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/ to just about anything described there, the socket file defintely exists at this path, and I also tried to explicitly allow apache access with a directory/files directive in apache - no success.
