I am slowly working all of this out and the first 3 or 4 times I tried to setup Django on our cPanel server I kept getting the same 403 Forbidden error. I scrapped everything and started from scratch as I wanted to use Python 2.7 instead of 2.5. Now I am receiving completely different errors I've never encountered before. I used the below post on the cpanel forums as a guide, making my own changes as necessary, documenting my full progress along the way. The new error lists in the browser as a 200 error which has me confused as I thought a 200 meant everything was good. I'm re-checking everything for a typo but I really have no idea what's causing this.
