Django - Apache2 Internal Server Error - django

Question

I created a django project under /home/toto/Desktop named dash_test and I wanted to serve my Django application with Apache2 and mod_wsgi.
I installed the Apache web server, the mod_wsgi, and pip using this command sudo apt-get install python-pip apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi. And I created a python virtual environment within the project directory named developer.
The allowed_hosts in the settings.py looks like this :
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', 'localhost', '127.0.0.1']`
I added the static_url and the static_root:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
I did run a collectstatic
And I configured apache by editing the 000-default.conf :
<VirtualHost *:80>
Alias /static /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/static
<Directory /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/static>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/dash_test>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess dash_test python-home=/home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/developer python-path=/home/toto/Desktop/dash_test
WSGIProcessGroup dash_test
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/dash_test/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>
when I try to access the localhost I get this error:
Internal Server Error

Here is the content of the apache2 error.log:

I am using MySQL and phpMyAdmin instead of db.sqlite3
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Instead of:
<Directory /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/dash_test>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
use:
<Directory /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
You were using the wrong directory.
That or you have:
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/wsgi.py
wrong and it is meant to be:
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/toto/Desktop/dash_test/dash_test/wsgi.py
The location of the wsgi.py doesn't actually look quite right if this is a Django app.
What is the actual path to the wsgi.py file.
The directory argument above should be the directory it is in.

Answer 2

I use Django 3.x and Apache 2.4 for upload my project in local host,indeed I going to test my project and Apache but I faced with same problem and when I check my Apache error.log it was : "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'"
And config file seems ok and when I check it with :"sudo apache2ctl configtest"
But I use this 2 commands for solve the problem
sudo a2dissite 000-default
sudo a2ensite 000-default
and
sudo systemctl reload apache2
