The development server helps you out (and gives false expectations in
the process if you're not paying attention) by automatically serving up
the CSS and Javascript files. This isn't the case when you switch to a
real webserver, since you need to tell the webserver how to find those
files. Django isn't going to automatically serve things like CSS,
images, and Javascript, as they're static files and web servers can do a
much better job serving them and providing things like expiry times than
running it through a Python program.
This is where I unfortunately have to say "read the documentation,"
since we've spent more than a few hours writing up instructions about
this. Have a look at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#id1
(in fact, read that whole page if you haven't done so already). You
might need to also look up the appropriate documentation in the Apache
manuals (e.g. if you don't know what the Location directive means), but
hopefully things should be reasonably clear if you're already familiar
with Apache configuration a bit and/or take your time.
