Everything is working but modpython

[jpittet]

I have everything running except mod_python on apache.

I can import django in the Python interpreter. I can even run python
manage.py runserver but as soon as I put it in apache, it gives me
grief. This is a
Centos 5
Python 2.4
Apache 2.2
mod_python.i386 3.2.8-3.1
Django SVN at 1.0 rc_1

Here is the error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython"

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas what I did wrong?

That error looks like you cant import django. weird.

Likely it's an issue with the instance of python that mod_python is complied to, do you have more than one version of python?

[Graham Dumpleton]

Run command line 'python' you used to install Django and then go:

$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import django
>>> django.__file__
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/site-packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.3.egg/django/__init__.pyc'

Post your output so we can see where Django is actually installed.

I went on to the IRC channel and Magus- helped me solve the problem.

Centos has permissions on the user folder I had the SVN trunk in that
was set to 700. /home/username/django-trunk is where I symlinked
django from.

To solve this problem all I had to do was set the permissions to 711
and it worked.

After that was fixed I also had to set the Python Egg Cache folder to
solve another problem in CentOS

# mkdir -p /var/cache/www/pythoneggs
# chown apache /var/cache/www/pythoneggs

Add this to the <Location> Directive
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE "/var/cache/www/djangotemplates"


Thanks for your responses!
