Hello Dan,
CAUTION: I don't think the is the standard way of doing this but I
have found it to make my code portable and easy to implement. Your
mileage may very but I have started removing the project name from all
of my code and for this configuration to work you would need to also.
I use the following on apache2 server where /opt/django/bancgi-prod is
the project directory and then I remove the project name from
ROOT_URLCONF in setting so it's equal = 'urls'. Then in all
applications I import from the app and don't use project name ever.
This is important because my code is now portable. Project name
doesn't matter except to the starting web server and the applications
can simple be used in any project without having to modify the project
name in any of the code. I believe that by including project name in
your code you're making it hard to port and it isn't required by the
built in server or by Apache and probably not by anything else but I
don't know. Again this works for me anyway :) but your mileage may
very.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bancgi-prod.western.edu
ServerAlias bancgi-prod
<Location "/">
PythonPath "['/opt/django/bancgi-prod'] + sys.path"
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE settings
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE "/tmp"
PythonOption django.root /bancgi-prod
PythonDebug Off
Options FollowSymLinks
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Hope this helps,
Mark
