Description (last modified by )
In the Django Book, DocumentRoot is at least mentioned in describing the process for serving files from the static and media directories via Apache. This is a pretty important caveat and should really be on the doc page for How To Use Django with Apache and mod_wsgi. (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/)

If this ticket really only applied to mod_python I'd have no trouble wontfixing it right now. However, I note that that the mod_wsgi page also includes Apache configuration samples for serving static assets, and that that example doesn't include DocumentRoot either, and it seems like it probably ought to.

I modified the description to redirect the fix to the Apache + WSGI docs.
This is a valid suggestion.
However, mod_python is deprecated and will be removed in version 1.5; so this ticket will be closed as "wontfix" in one month.
