Both mod_wsgi and TurboGears contain specific notes about this issue with Python eggs when using Python running inside of Apache.
In mod_wsgi documentation read section on 'Access Rights Of Apache User' in: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ApplicationIssues In TurboGears documentation read section headed 'The general stuff' in: http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/mod_python When using mod_python as you are, probably the only way to get around the problem without changing the startup scripts for Apache is to use the mod_python PythonImport directive to import, at startup of each Apache child process, into the same Python interpreter as your Django application is running, a module which sets the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable. Ie., the module imported using PythonImport should say: import os os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/some/directory' Where '/some/directory' is a directory writable by the user that Apache runs as.
