ImportError: No module named django.core.wsgi Apache + VirtualEnv + AWS + WSGI

Question

I am trying to publish my site on an Amazon's EC2 Instance, and I keep getting a 500 error. I really dunno why.

Answer 1

There might be a few packages of the site-packages missing from your virtualenv , when wsgi.py is executed.

This issue can be fixed by modifying the sys.path in your path/project/project/wsgi.py file.

Just append the project dir along with your virtualenv site-packages to the sys.path List.

If you want to learn more about this AWS service then you should read AWS EC2.

Hello Akanksha,

I'm getting the same error.

I have a virtual env setup and when check the log which has the same as the above question.

using pip I've installed all the dependencies but still error not fixed.
