Apache runs as www-data user. That user must have read access to
directories from / down to directory where your WSGI application
script file is. The error above suggests that directory '/root' is not
readable to the www-data user. In other words, permissions of the
directory are likely something like 'rwxr-x---'. So, no o+rx.
Technically you can get away with o+x in circumstances where Apache
doesn't need a directory browsing ability.
