I am trying to run my Django sites with mod\_wsgi instead of mod\_python (RHEL 5). I tried this with all my sites, but get the same problem. I configured it the standard way everyone recommends, but requests to the site simply time out.

Apache conf:

```
<VirtualHost 74.54.144.34>
    DocumentRoot /wwwclients/thymeandagain
    ServerName thymeandagain4corners.com
    ServerAlias www.thymeandagain4corners.com
    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/thymeandagain_access_log combined
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/thymeandagain_error_log
    LogLevel error
    WSGIScriptAlias / /wwwclients/thymeandagain/wsgi_handler.py
    WSGIDaemonProcess thymeandagain user=admin group=admin processes=1 threads=16
    WSGIProcessGroup thymeandagain
</VirtualHost>

```

wsgi\_handler.py:

```
import sys
import os

sys.path.append("/wwwclients")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'thymeandagain.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

```

The daemon mod\_wsgi is supposed to spawn off is not there, so requests just time out and I get a bunch of "Unable to connect to WSGI daemon process" errors in the logs. Is there something about the WSGIDaemonProcess directive that is preventing creation of the daemon? Thanks in advance for any help...

EDIT: I get this in the error log:

```
