I'm trying to deploy my Django app to an Apache server with no luck. I succeeded with the WSGI sample application, and tried to host an empty Django project. While it works properly with the manage.py runserver, it throws the following error when using apache:
[notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) PHP/5.4.4-14+deb7u9 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.7.3 mod_wsgi/2.7 configured -- resuming normal operations

My wsgi.py is the following:
"""
WSGI config for myapp project.
It exposes the WSGI callable as a module-level variable named ``application``.
For more information on this file, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/
"""
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myapp.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
I have a wsgi.conf in the conf.d library for apache:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapp.example.com
ServerAlias myapp
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /usr/local/www/django>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess myapp processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup myapp
WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /usr/local/www/django/myapp/wsgi.py
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
</VirtualHost>
WSGIPythonPath /usr/local/www/django/myapp
[SOLVED] Thanks, I started all over again, made the suggested modifications to my configuration files, and now it's working. I couldn't flag both suggestions correct, but I think both of them were necessary and I had a third (fourth, fifth...) bug to, which went away after reinstallation.
