Instead of seeing my Django view I get a directory listing or NOT FOUND

[Edwardo Hanna]

My Django application works fine in the Django server however when I try using Apache, my Django application does either two things.

A:

A URL serves a directory listing : http://192.168.33.102:8787/myapp/

B: 

A URL serves:

Not Found

The requested URL /myapp/ass1v2/ was not found on this server.

I looked at my Apache 2 error log and notice the following.

# This application object is used by any WSGI server configured to use this

# setting points here.

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

application = get_wsgi_application()

# Apply WSGI middleware here.

# from helloworld.wsgi import HelloWorldApplication

# application = HelloWorldApplication(application)

Does anyone have suggestions as to why I would be getting the directory listing and NOT FOUND errors? Thanks.

For a start, the Alias directive:

Alias /myapp/ /var/www/sampleapp/Java/for_django_1-4/myproject/myproject/myapp/

is overriding the WSGIScriptAlias directive for that sub URL.

Comment out that Alias directive and see what happens.

Yes I removed that line. Still the problem.

Just inside of:

<VirtualHost *:8787>

add:

Deny from all

Restart Apache and try again.

This is to validate that the VirtualHost is actually being used. Using a VirtualHost with an IP only can some times cause issues if not setup properly.

If the VirtualHost is actually being used, you should now get a Forbidden response.

Any chance you can't map a host name to that IP and add ServerName so is a proper name based virtual host setup?

[Edwardo Hanna]

Hello Graham!

I get:

deny not allowed here

Action 'start' failed.

The Apache error log may have more information.

Does this confirm what you are saying? Thanks

[Graham Dumpleton]

No.

Use:

<Location />
Deny from all
</Location>

inside of the VirtualHost instead.

The error you got does at least tell us the file is being read though. :-)

[Edwardo Hanna]

Thanks! Yes after using using: http://192.168.33.102:8787/myapp/ I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /myapp/ on this server.

Comment out that <Location /> block with the Deny from all in it.

Then comment out all the Alias directives.

Finally, you are missing in:

        <Directory /var/www/sampleapp/Java/for_django_1-4/myproject/myproject>

<Files wsgi.py>

#Require all granted

</Files>

</Directory>

the:

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

so add that to that as well where you have 'Require all granted' commented out.

When replying please then show the complete current configuration for the VirtualHost rather than just your new reply. By not including what went before I loose context and have to go search back through older messages.

Hello Graham, thanks, I have made the updates in this post. I also just watched your video at PyConAU 2010. I was trying to take note if anything could help me avoid the directory listing and the NOT FOUND pages. Thanks

I am confused. Did you actually comment out all the Alias directives to see at least whether the request hot handled by the WSGI application at all? The configuration you have below didn't have them commented out.

BTW, I would very much suggest that rather than using a Django web application, that you go back and validate your Apache configuration using a simple WSGI hello world application such as in:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide#WSGI_Application_Script_File

Ensure you can get that working at least.

If that works, then we need to look at what is producing the 404.
