I am trying to make my django project work with httpd using mod_wsgi. But I keep getting a "500 Internal Server Error". I am using a PostgreSQL Postgis database. My OS is Fedora 20.
What is really weird is that :
- The project works just fine when I use Django development Server instead of httpd.
It also works fine when I use something other than Postgis, i.e. when I replace the followig line in the file settings.py :
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
by any other database (mysql, sqlite3..), such as :
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
Here is my httpd configuration file for the django project (let's say it is called testproject
) (I put this file in /etc/httpd/conf.d
):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName testproject.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/testproject
WSGIProcessGroup testproject
WSGIDaemonProcess testproject threads=4
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/testproject/django.wsgi
Alias /static/ "/var/www/testproject/static/"
<Location "/media">
SetHandler None
</Location>
<LocationMatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|js|css)$">
SetHandler None
</LocationMatch>
<Directory /var/www/testproject>
WSGIProcessGroup testproject
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The part of the project settings (settings.py
) that is apparently generating the error:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
'NAME': 'db_name',
'USER': 'db_user',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': '',
'PORT': '',
}
}
When I try to access the URL testproject.com
, I get a "500 Internal Server Error", and the httpd error log is the following:
[Mon May 12 14:34:35.462830 2014] [:info] [pid 20762] [remote 127.0.0.1:33403] mod_wsgi (pid=20762, process='testproject', application=''): Loading WSGI script '/var/www/testproject/django.wsgi'.

I insist on the fact that this error is only happening using django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis
, but it's working fine using any of the django.db.backends.*
.
Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated.
