I've worked on putting Django on a Red Hat machine, and I've noticed
that the Ubuntu version of Apache is a bit different. But, in any
case, In my /etc/apache2 httpd.conf I have:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
<Location "/mysite/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonInterpreter mysite
PythonPath "['/home/webmastr/public_html/django']+sys.path"
</Location>
And that's it. Excluding the /media, it should still show something,
I'd believe, or am I wrong?
