Gotcha -
Assuming that you were able to start the service as in the instructions at
the end of that page (i.e.
django-fcgi.py --settings=myproject.settings --host 127.0.0.1 --port
8882 --daemon)
and that you didn't see any errors with that, the problem is likely in
the connection
between the Apache service built in to MacOS X server and your FastCGI process.
The instructions on that page indicate you should have something like
this in your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file:
FastCgiExternalServer /Library/WebServer/Documents/django.fcgi -host
127.0.0.1:8882
<VirtualHost *:80>
Servername django.loc
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/django-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/django-access.log combined
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/m/.*)$ $1 [L] # for custom media
RewriteRule ^(/media.*)$ $1 [L] # for admin media
RewriteRule ^(/.*\.)(jpg|gif|png|ico)$ $1$2 [L] # some other media
(mostly "accidentaly" in the root)
RewriteRule ^(/admin.*)$ /django.fcgi$1 [L] # admin application
RewriteRule ^(/myapp.*)$ /django.fcgi$1 [L] # your own application
RewriteRule ^(/.*)$ /django.fcgi$1 [L] # the rest of django (only
if needed from the web root)
</VirtualHost>
Do you have this in place? Did you change this at all? If so, what do you
have there? Did you restart the Apache server after you modified the
configuration file?
