Second, i found some small errors in the documentation that describes Django deployment with mod_wsgi: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/modwsgi/ The documentation says to add ""sys.path.append('/usr/local/django') just above the final import line to place your project on the path."" This is not correct. It should not be ""above"", it should be ""below"", ie, after importing sys: ""just after the 'import sys' line to place your project on the path"" It does not work if you append a path to sys before importing sys itself. (Shoule be obvious but better to have it correct) Further.. it is a little unclear that ""/usr/local/django"" is intended to be the same as ""/path/to/mysite"" which is used for the WSGIScriptAlias at the beginning of the document; while at the end of the document it suddenly changes again to: WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/wsgi/scripts/django.wsgi This is not very clear, I think it is better to be consistent for file paths. So, perhaps it is better to either use /path/to/mysite or alternatively, give a disclaimer that the local files are stored at /usr/local/django or at /usr/local/wsgi Keep up the good work!
