Thanks Graham for the prompt response. Here is what I discovered based on 
your questions.

Version Info:
mod_wsgi/4.7.1
Python/3.9.21 (latest revision)
What would be the correct mod_wsgi version for python 3.9?  I couldn't find 
this in the documentation anywere for mod_wsgi?

(env) [pcarra@ip-10-42-42-120 portal]$ ls -lasd /home/django
0 drwxr-xr-x. 5 django django 185 Feb 13 14:03 /home/django

For directory permissions I have changed everything under /home/django to 
be owned by django:django and then ran chmod o+rx on /home/django (I had 
been using root to create somethings)
