Apache and Django : 403 Forbidden
Fabien Schwob
I've finished my app using Django, and I'm now trying to host it on a
dedicated server using Apache 2 and mod_python. But, I get a "403
Forbidden" error from Apache on nearly all pages I want to see.
The website is at the url : http://www.chibbi.fr.
The thing I don't understand, is that the main page
(http://www.chibbi.fr.) and the /chibbi/ page
(http://www.chibbi.fr/chibbi/) works, but the other no. You will see
the errors by clicking on any links.
And here is my configuration :
Apache/2.0.58 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.58 OpenSSL/0.9.7i mod_python/3.1.4 Python/2.4.2
The django project name is chibbi and it folder is in /home/chibbi/.
The database is MySQL.
The virtual host is the following one :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.chibbi.fr
ServerAlias chibbi.fr
DocumentRoot /home/chibbi/
<Directory />
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "sys.path+['/home/chibbi']"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE chibbi.settings
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
Alias /static "/home/chibbi/chibbi/media"
<Location "/static">
SetHandler None
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
And my url.py file :
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from chibbi.club.feeds import LatestBlogEntries, PodCast, EventsDateFeed
feeds = {
'blog': LatestBlogEntries,
'podcast': PodCast,
'evenements': EventsDateFeed,
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve that problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't this read <Location "/">...</Location>?
The difference is explained in these two documents:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#location
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html#file-and-web

I've change my configuration to :
ServerName www.chibbi.fr
ServerAlias chibbi.fr
DocumentRoot /home/chibbi/
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "sys.path+['/home/chibbi']"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE chibbi.settings
PythonDebug On
</Location>
Alias /static "/home/chibbi/chibbi/media"
<Location "/static">
SetHandler None
</Location>
But I still have the same problem.

You probably want to take out the <Location> bits for the "/"
namespace, and configure the PythonHandler for the complete
VirtualHost. (Just remove the <Location "/"> and </Location> lines).
Also, your DocumentRoot should not be the same as your python code
base, I think. At least this is what the manual recommends...
Note to self: Don't write on mailing lists before first coffee :) Sorry
for the hassle.

Thanks, it was a problem with de DocumentRoot.
Now, I've a problem with the current directory. When I try to open
files using a relative path, I get an IOError like on
http://chibbi.fr/photos-videos/photo-270/.
All the files I would like to access are in /home/chibbi/chibbi/media.
It seems that changing the current directory (with
os.chdir('/home/chibbi/chibbi/')) it work, but I make the project
dependant of the disk structure. I there a way to say to Django to use
the project root (/home/chibbi/chibbi/ in my case).
Is there a way to change that ? I haven't found anything in the
settings.py options.
Thanks in advance.

It seems that using os.chdir('/home/chibbi/chibbi/') in urls.py don't
work as expected. It works nearly all the time, and it shows only
randomly an error. I think it's when Apache is creating a new child
process which doesn't had the current directory set to
/home/chibbi/chibbi/.
