Joe Doherty is right. You want something more like this in you wsgi file:
import sys
sys.path = [ <path to your web app> ] + sys.path
from cherrypy._cpwsgi import CPWSGIApp
from cherrypy._cptree import Application
from <your_web_app> import <your web app class>
config_path = '<path to your cherrypy config>'
application = CPWSGIApp(
Application(<your web app class>(), '', config = config_path)
I stuck everything that should be based on your particular app in <>s.
