403 Forbidden Error

[Biekei]

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>

WSGIScriptAlias /kt /home/biekei/.projects/py/kt/kt/apache/
django.wsgi

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_Presentations

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.
