It is centos but we are using apache and mod_wsgi in daemon mode, here
is the relevant part of my apache conf:
-------

Alias /static/ /home/hatikva/store/static/

<Directory /home/hatikva/store/static>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /media/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/
admin/media/

<Directory /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/
media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess hatikva.com user=hatikva group=hatikva python-path=/
usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup hatikva.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/hatikva/store/apache/store.wsgi

-------

My understanding is that the way the static directory is set up above
means that apache and not django serves media.

As I have watched the memory usage has continued to go up, its now at
~650m, up from ~220m (I have stopped refreshing and this has happened
in the past 20 minutes or so).

I am open to recommendations as to a better setup (which I may or may
not be able to do depending on the person I have made the site for).
Thanks for the quick response!
