Lets now confirm that the 500 is coming from Django or whether is from Apache.
Use a WSGI middleware wrapper described in: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DebuggingTechniques#Tracking_Request_and_Response <https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DebuggingTechniques#Tracking_Request_and_Response> to capture the request and response. Is the application actually returning a 500, or perhaps instead returning a different error code. There are cases where for a non 200 error code other than 500 that Apache can try and map it to an ErrorDocument but if that is mapping back into the application and also has an error, Apache will fall back to generating a 500 response. So lets just make sure we know what is going in and out of the application and that it looks like what is expected. Also check what gets logged in the Apache access log at the same time. Am sleeping now, so will see what you find in the morning.
