Apache + mod_python - can't configure server

  • 772

I have got Ubuntu 10.04 (XEN) VPS. I want to set up Django server. I use apt-get to install django packages, apache, apache-mpm-prefork. Before using this configuration I saw "It works!" title, when I use ip/domain to get access to the server. After using configuration I saw: 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I found my django folder in this directory: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/ , while using find command to 'django-admin.py' (also, such file at /usr/local/bin) and put there folder from my development computer. So, this is my configuration:

<Location "/">
  SetHandler python-program
  PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
  SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE projectname.settings
  PythonDebug Off
  PythonAutoReload Off
  PythonPath "['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django','/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sidt-packages/django/bin/projectname'] + sys.path"
</Location>

<Location "/media/">
  SetHandler None
</Location>

<Location "/static/">
  SetHandler None
</Location>

What is wrong with my configuration? And how can I found information about errors, I can't understand what I must search to fix.

ubuntu apache-2.2 django mod-python

    Where's the Django project located? You'll need to point your PythonPath at the project, not necessarily the Django library files.

    It's configured to look in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sidt-packages/django/bin/projectname; that should be "site-packages" instead, but confirm that that's where the project files are located (is "projectname" correct?).
