Hi Graham, sorry for replying to you so incredibly late, I haven't had much time to work on my project.
So the syntax of the WSGIDaemonProcess directive should be, WSGIDaemonProcess user=username group=groupname threads=15 maximum- requests=10000 For each individual Django user. But you state in the documentation, > Note that this option is ignored if Apache wasn't started as the root user, > in which case no matter what the settings, the daemon processes will > be run as the user that Apache was started as. On the server I'm working on, Apache runs under the www-data user, not root. Is there no way around this? By the way, thanks for being such an involved developer! You're very helpful.
