My Apache (mod_wsgi) Django app only lists the files instead of the actually running website/application

My Apache (mod_wsgi) Django app only lists the files of my website/project instead of the actual running website/application. My guess is that it's mod_wsgi that is the culprit but I'm not really sure. What are some of the causes of 开发者_运维问答this?

Don't put your Django site code in a directory Apache can serve up. Right now if I knew the actual site host name, I could get down your Django settings file and get access to your database password information.

Anyway, ensure you have gone and set up a basic WSGI hello world program before you attempt to get Django working under mod_wsgi. In doing this, ensure you use the official mod_wsgi documentation and not some arbitrary persons blog post. As such, go read:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickInstallationGuide http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide

Also go watch the video presentation at:

as it steps you through basic configuration as well as what to do for Django. It covers all the basic things that people do wrong.

If you still can't get it to work, then heed the comments in:
