django.core.handlers.wsgi not found

[larry....@gmail.com]

I posted this to the django group a couple of days ago, but no one has
been able to help me.

I am trying to deploy my django app on a newly setup CentOS box. I
have successfully deployed it on ubuntu and on a Mac.

I get these errors in the apache error log:

[Sat Feb 04 17:43:28 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_wsgi
(pid=13616): Target WSGI script '/usr/local/myapp/scripts/myapp.wsgi'
cannot be loaded as Python module.

myapp/scripts/myapp.wsgi'.

django.core.handlers.wsgi
[Sat Feb 04 17:43:28 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ImportError: No
module named django.core.handlers.wsgi

From command line python the import works:

$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 7 2011, 20:38:36)
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
myapp.wsgi
>>> import django.core.handlers.wsgi

I also have this warning in the apache log:

[Sat Feb 04 17:41:12 2012] [warn] mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.6.2.
[Sat Feb 04 17:41:12 2012] [warn] mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/
2.6.6.

I've checked permissions, and wsgi.py and every dir in the path to it
is 755.

$ ls -l /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers//
wsgi.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9683 Feb 3 07:09 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/django/core/handlers//wsgi.py

I have this line in my httpd.conf file:

WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/myapp/scripts/myapp.wsgi


I printed print sys.path from within my myapp.wsgi script, and it's
the same as what I get from command line python:

['/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/python_dateutil-1.5-py2.6.egg', '/
usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-
linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/
usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages', '/
usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
setuptools-0.6c11-
py2.6.egg-info', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/webkit-1.0']


django was installed from svn like this:

#svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/django /usr/
lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django
#ln -s /usrl/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django /usr/lib/python2.6/
site-packages/django

Which is the same way I've done it on the other systems I've deployed
this app on.

mod_wsgi was installed with yum.

Can anyone help me?

TIA!

At the start of the WSGI script file, add:

import django
print django.__file__

In other words, work out whether top level 'django' can be installed
and if so where it is coming from.

You might inadvertently have a django.py file sitting somewhere which
it is finding by mistake.

When I add that I get:

[Mon Feb 06 06:36:57 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] import
django
[Mon Feb 06 06:36:57 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ImportError: No
module named django

When I do the same from command like python I get:

$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 7 2011, 20:38:36)
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2

>>> import django
>>> print django.__file__
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/__init__.py

When I print sys.path from my wsgi script /usr/lib/python2.6/site-
packages is there. Does /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django need
to be given somewhere?

I re-installed django and that seems to have fixed the problem. Not
sure why it did - I installed it the same way as I did before, but
whatever, it works now.

Only reason why reinstalling Django may help is if permissions on
installed directories/files were such that user code runs as under
Apache couldn't read them.
