[ELI5] how to deploy django

[Walter Wang]

 I tried my best to follow the various guides out there, but the official 
documentation here 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/ has 
different instructions than the instructions here, 
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/using-mod_wsgi-to-serve-applications-on-ubuntu-12-04
 


I have been at this for over a week now, and I can't figure out how to 
deploy django with mod_wsgi and apache on a linux web server. 

Can someone give or point to me a step to step instruction on how to deploy 
django?

Specifically,
1. what do I do with the httpd.conf file? 
2. wsgi file? what's the difference between "making a wsgi file" and a 
wsgi.py file? For example


"wsgi file"

import os
import sys  
sys.path.append('~/public_html/domain1.com/')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'MyTestProject.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()



"wsgi.py"

import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mywebsite.settings")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

Thank you for any help.

Thanks alot for all your answers, I really appreciate it.

I am using ubuntu 12.04 lts hosted on digitalocean. Apache version is 2.2.2 
and django is 1.6, I created a virtualenv in the home directory, named 
myproject, I am using python3.2 as the interpreter in the virtualenv. 

All your answers has given renewed energy. 

So from reading all your answers, based on having django 1.6. I should edit 
the wsgi.py file and I don't have to make a "wsgi file" according to the 
digital ocean instructions.

What about the httpd.conf file? According to sam I should not touch it, but 
the official documentation for 1.6 says otherwise.
