hello,

I tried using the configuration of mod_wsgi for django from the
documentation but I always get a 403 Forbidden error. I use django,
mod_wsgi and apache provided by my distribution (ubuntu). Any advice

hi there

used the default settings from the configuration for django from the
documentation page. I'm using django 1.2.3, apache 2.2, mod_wsgi
3.2-2. All files I used for django is stored in /home/biekei/.projects/
py/kt and the folder created by django-admin is /home/biekei/.projects/
py/kt/kt

This is my config file from /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ( the
same error when i used httpd.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        WSGIScriptAlias /kt /home/biekei/.projects/py/kt/kt/apache/
django.wsgi

        <Directory /home/biekei/.projects/py/kt/kt/>
                Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

here also is /home/biekei/.projects/py/kt/kt/apache/django.wsgi
import os
import sys
sys.path.append('/home/biekei/.projects/py/kt')
sys.path.append('/home/biekei/.projects/py/kt/kt')

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'kt.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Thanks for any advice

Presuming you are same person as OP, then 403 likely because of
restrictive permissions on your home directory preventing user that
Apache runs as from seeing inside of your home directory for your
account.

Have a watch of video presentation and look at slides that go with it at:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/WhereToGetHelp?tm=6#Conference_...

The quick fix is to change permissions on your home directory, and
possibly stuff under .projects as well. Alternatively move the web
site stiff outside of your home directory, or run your application in
mod_wsgi daemon mode.

The talk goes through the options.
