[Answered] Django Project Will Not Work - Error In Dispatch.wsgi

[dvance]

I have tried to follow the guidelines for uploading a django project to my account, and I have tried to follow the wiki's guide to debug the dispatch.wsgi file, but I don't seem to be getting any productive feedback. The site was working on the django 1.3.7 development server.

 

Ideally, an index.html page powered by django would appear at <http://www.8bitphotos.com>, but only a directory index appears. I hit "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to access <http://www.8bitphoto...eightbitphotos/>, in which my project files are saved.

 

What do I need in order to get things running smoothly?? I've tried things from other forum topics but without any luck. Thanks for any help you can provide.

1. Download http://area52.heliohost.org/djangotest.zip
   
2. Extract to a directory in your public_html
   
3. Create /home/<username>/.python_egg_cache
   
4. Chmod 777 .python_egg_cache
   
5. Edit /home/<username>/public_html/<djangofolder>/dispatch.wsgi
   
6. sys.path.append("/home/<username>/public_html/<djangofolder>");
   
7. os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/home/<username>/.python_egg_cache'

Ok - I can get djangotest running, thanks for that.

 

I was able to go to "http://<mydomain>/djangotest" and the django page came up.

However, I tried to give the djangotest directory a new name and edit the dispatch.wsgi to match the new name. When I went to "http://<mydomain>/<newname>", a server error page came up telling me that it couldn't find "/djangotest/dispatch.wsgi." Why is it thinking to look there? I don't know anything else that references it. Why didn't it go to the new directory name?
