unable to deploy Django on ubuntu with apache mod WSGI

Question

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and I did the following:

sudo apt-get install python-mysql

sudo python setup.py install (install Django 1.6.2)

sudo apt-get install mysql-server-...

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

Here are my configuration files:

/home/firstweb.wsgi:

import os
import sys
sys.path = ['/var/www/firstweb'] + sys.path
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'firstweb.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

/etc/apache/sites-availables/firstweb.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/adel/firstweb.wsgi
ServerName firstweb.com
Alias /static /var/www/firstweb/static/

<Directory /var/www/firstweb/>
order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

then I did:

a2ensite firstweb.conf
cd /var/www/
django-admin.py startproject firstweb
apachectl restart
vi /etc/hosts

and add the following (192.168.0.123 is my wlan ip)

192.168.0.123 firstweb.com

I use mysql and I create a database and change the settings.py and the syncdb works fine

But when I enter the www.firstweb.com in browser the default page of Apache appears (it works....)

and the Django default page does not appear!!

what is wrong with my configuration?

thank you.

Your virtual server is not listening on www.firstweb.com, only on firstweb.com. You should add a ServerAlias directive for the www version.

Add this to your apache config file: ServerAlias www.firstweb.com

Add it to the conf file you've shown above, next to where you specify the ServerName.

Hello Daniel I did that and the problem still remains!

The path your WSGIScriptAlisa directive is referring to, is not within any directory you specified to the Directory directive indicating where Apache was allowed to serve files/scripts from. Further, the Apache user would not normally be able to access files under a user home directory. Both problems would cause different Forbidden HTTP responses. So, even you solve your ServerName/ServerAlias and host issues, you would likely then have those problems. make sure you go read the official mod_wsgi deployment docs on the Django site.
