title: Running a Django site under mod_wsgi
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Apache conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost 74.54.144.34&gt;
      DocumentRoot /wwwclients/thymeandagain
      ServerName thymeandagain4corners.com
      ServerAlias www.thymeandagain4corners.com
      LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;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
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>wsgi_handler.py:</p>
  
  <pre><code>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()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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...</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I get this in the error log:</p>
