    14 The original urls.py is looking like this:
     14The urls.py I used to serve the application with the Django built-in development server:

    35 In httpd.conf you should load the mod_wsgi and include the file containing the configuration of your django application. The trap there is all the path should de use "/" and not "\".

    111 In this file you are defining the settings in our it is called: dj_project.apache.settings_production
    112 There is nothing special there except that  I am pointing to a special ulrs.py
     110__Note__: If you need to write something in "error.log" located in the following folder "<Your Apache Installation>\Apache2.2\logs" you can insert the line below in your WSGI file. In our example this file is called "dj_survey.wsgi". This method is very convenient to get the PYTHONPATH correct:
     111{{{
     112print >> sys.stderr, sys.path
     113}}}
     114
     115In this file you are defining the settings taht will be used by your Django application, in our example this file is called: "dj_project.apache.settings_production" (__Note__: ".py" is implicit and should not be added).
     116There is nothing special in that file except that  I am pointing to a special ulrs.py which reflect the configuration I am using in production.
