If you do this and Apache gets misconfigured, you can expose all your source code to the world, including any sensitive information in it like database passwords.

Every example I've seen has no space there so I don't think a space is allowed (though I did not actually verify that a space breaks things). Second you've specified 'hwsw2' in both the PythonPath and the SetEnv for the settings module, so the file names that will be searched for are /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/hwsw2/hwsw2/settings.py, etc. If you are going to specify the settings module as hwsw2.settings then '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs', without the trailing hwsw2, needs to be on your python path. Whether you need both directories on the path depends on how you import things in your code. If you always specify hwsw2 in your imports than you don't need to have it be specified explicitly in the python path, just its parent. Third you don't need to specify anything under site-packages (site-packages is automatically searched) in the PythonPath, so you should remove '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django' from the PythonPath setting.

Difficulty getting Django working with Apache and mod_python
I'm pretty new to Django. I'm having trouble getting my Django app/web-site to run under Apache2 and Mod_Python. I'm running Django 0.96. I installed Apache2 and Mod_Python and tested both, and they seem to work properly. In my http.conf, I have the following: Python Path "['/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/hwsw2','/usr/lib/ python2.3/site-packages/django'] + sys.path" SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE hwsw2.settings PythonDebug On The file permissions appear to be correct.(apache owns the .py files and they are executable, the .html templates are all ready-only for the world.) Unfortunately, I get the following error: EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'hwsw2.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named hwsw2.settings Does anyone have any ideas on what I did to mis-configure this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
