Deploying Django via wsgi

[parall...@gmail.com]

Quite new, and trying to deploy first Django site. I keep getting 503 errors. Here are the particulars, any hints as to what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated! All directories and files are group owned and writable by www-data. Ubuntu server, and Apache2.4 server where I have root access. The tutorial where I got the howto is located here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-14-04

Thank you!

unless you are strictly required to use apache I strongly suggest using nginx and uwsgi to deploy your django application

Perhaps you need to allow access to that directory? Maybe something
like this:

<Directory "/home/user/kb_venv/project_name">
Require all granted
</Directory>

Thank you all for your replies. It turned out to be something simple. Since Django was installed in a virtualenv I needed to include the path to the Django libs in the wsgi paths. Done and site up.

Again thanks!
