Done a reinstall and checked each step. --------------------------------------------------- Step 1: Installed WampServer2 and verified working Location: C:\imfree Components of WampServer 2.0i [11/07/09] Apache 2.2.11 MySQL 5.1.36 PHP 5.3.0 --------------------------------------------------- Step 2: Set up test enviroment Created following folders E:\localhost E:\Django\djangotest E:\Django\testsite2 placed unique index.html in each folder edited hosts: added 127.0.0.1 djangotest.lc 127.0.0.1 testsite2.lc --------------------------------------------------- Step 3: Set up Virtual Hosts Edits to files:
httpd.conf: # Uncommented following # Virtual hosts Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf ------------------------------------ http-vhosts.conf: # Virtual Hosts # # Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 # <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmas...@djangotest.lc DocumentRoot "E:/Django/djangotest" ServerName djangotest.lc ServerAlias www.djangotest.lc ErrorLog "logs/djangotest.lc-error.log" CustomLog "logs/djangotest.lc-access.log" common <Directory E:/Django/djangotest> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmas...@testsite2.lc DocumentRoot "E:/Django/testsite2" ServerName testsite2.lc ServerAlias www.testsite2.lc ErrorLog "logs/testsite2.lc-error.log" CustomLog "logs/testsite2.lc-access.log" common <Directory E:/Django/testsite2> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmas...@dummy-host2.localhost DocumentRoot "E:/localhost" ServerName localhost ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log" CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common <Directory E:/localhost> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Started server [ :) Working] Stopped server --------------------------------------------------- Step 4: Installed Python 2.6.2 Location: C:\imfree\bin [keeping things tidy] tested and verified working by the following methods 1. Start>All Programs>Python 2.6>python [ :) Working] 2. Start>Run>CMD >cd C:\imfree\bin\Python26 C:\imfree\bin\Python26>python [ :) Working] --------------------------------------------------- Step 5. Install Django SVN Location: C:\imfree\bin\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django copied django-admin.py to C:\imfree\bin\Python26\Tools\Scripts Tested by first deleting folder E:\Django\djangotest then: 1. Start>All Progams>Python 2.6>python entered import django into Python command line Result no errors. 2.

Test with built in server edited httpd-vhosts.conf: <VirtualHost *:80> #changed to port 8000 ServerAdmin webmas...@djangotest.lc DocumentRoot "E:/Django/djangotest" ServerName djangotest.lc ServerAlias www.djangotest.lc ErrorLog "logs/djangotest.lc-error.log" CustomLog "logs/djangotest.lc-access.log" common <Directory E:/Django/djangotest> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Entered http://djangotest.lc:8000/ into browser [ :) Working from built in server] Quit built in server changed virtualhost back to port 80 Started apache server Entered http://djangotest.lc:8000/ into browser [ As expected Problem loading page] Entered http://djangotest.lc/ into browser [ 403 Forbidden?] Stopped server. --------------------------------------------------- Step 5. Install mod_wsgi Copied mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py26-3.0c4.so to C:\imfree\bin\apache \Apache2.2.11\modules renamed it to mod_wsgi.so edited httpd.conf: added LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so to top of LoadModule section. Clear server log files Start server apache_error.log [Mon Aug 17 03:51:12 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.3.0 mod_wsgi/3.0c4 Python/2.6.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Mon Aug 17 03:51:12 2009] [notice] Server built: Dec 10 2008 00:10:06 [Mon Aug 17 03:51:12 2009] [notice] Parent: Created child process 1480 [Mon Aug 17 03:51:13 2009] [notice] Child 1480: Child process is running [Mon Aug 17 03:51:13 2009] [notice] Child 1480: Acquired the start mutex.
