Debian packages are always different in how they are initially set up, but Apache works the same in most instances. If you have a conf file that works in red hat, as long as all the modules and the directories are the same, it should work in Ubuntu (also make sure that you have the same apache versions). I always find that with Apache simplicity is best. I would go through each line of the http.conf and ask myself what is it doing here, etc. The apache docs are pretty good at figuring out what is going on. > <IfModule dir_module> > DirectoryIndex index.html index.php > </IfModule> > For example, do you know what this is doing? I am not saying it is you problem, but it looks like it was copied from somewhere. Do you know if you have dir_module on or off.

Does apache have permissions to get to it? To what Server/virtualmachine, port is apache executing this Location. The media is only important to serve static files directly through apache so Django doesn't have to deal with them. If these instructions and the Django docs aren't working, you need to look into configuring apache. There are tons of sites that explain this. Just do a search for configuring apache. Every server is different and your needs are going to be different, just copying what other people won't work until you have a basic understanding of this. On a lovely Sunday you can learn enough about Apache to get django running.
