Fresh Django with mod_wsgi and apache goes Time Out on 18.04

[Mohammad Etemaddar]

I have installed Ubuntu server 18.04 and VirtualMin on it. installed python3-pip and then virtualenv.
Also installed libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
Created new virtual server and configured the modwsgi for it.
Also created fresh django website for it.
But I get Timeout error!
Here is my apache configuration for mod_wsgi:

Code:

WSGIDaemonProcess username.ir python-home=/home/username/venv python-path=/home/username/website
WSGIProcessGroup username.ir


Alias /media/ /home/username/website/media/
Alias /static/ /home/username/website/static/

<Directory /home/username/website/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /home/username/website/media>
Require all granted
</Directory>

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/username/website/website/wsgi.py

<Directory /home/username/website/website>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>

Django version: 1.11.14

I have configured website like this on a Debian 9 server and worked great.

How can I solve it?

Which kind of timeout do you get?

If you get a timeout when trying to access your site with eg. a browser,
I would try to ssh to the host and try to connect to the site locally,
eg. "telnet localhost 80". If that connects, then I would look into
whether port 80 is open in a firewall or similar.

If you get a "504 Gateway Timeout", then there's an issue with the
connection between Apache and the WSGI application. Possibly the Django
app is not running?

I cannot really come with a solution, but I hope that can help you in
troubleshooting.

Kind regards,
