You've only set up mod_python to handle the 'sweetman' directory, not the root. Change the "Location" to "/". Also note that it's a bad idea to keep your Django code and templates under your DocumentRoot. Apart from anything else, it's a potential security hole - if a misconfigured Apache can serve your templates directly, it could also do so with your settings file containing your db credentials. Put it all somewhere else - it just needs to be on your PythonPath, which you're already modifying in the configuration. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
