The simplest solution to get Dnajgo project welcome screen using apache/mod_python is to put these lines of code in your project .htaccess file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonPath sys.path+['/'your_django_projects] # not the project directory, but its parent SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE myproject.settings PythonDebug On ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope it helps PS: Use 'SetHandler mod_python' handle if you use a newer version of mod_python
