Apache2 + VirtualEnv IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied - django

I am having trouble getting apache to serve my site via virtualenv (and virtualenvwrapper). I tried following the walkthrough here. Of note, I am using Ubuntu Server v13.10 which I've read doesn't have native support for Apache v2.2 yet, thus in the walkthrough I was not able to install apache2.2-common. However, I don't think that is the issue as the apache error logs are saying there is a permissions problem.
In my setup the virtual environment lives in a non-root user's home directory, while the apache server runs as root (I think this is normal). I have tried to trace the permissions using namei and I've made sure to chmod +rw to the path as root. Any ideas?

To be able to access the files, the apache owner needs at least the x bits on all directories above your files, and the r bit to the files themselves. Your nrUser directory is missing the x bits; chmod 755 /home/nrUser should fix your problem.

If I remember correctly, Apache user/group needs permissions to read the directories. Try applying chown to your mysite directory, for example:
sudo chown -R <user>:www-data mysite <-- while in nrUser home directory
Restart apache using sudo service apache2 restart and see if you can access your website.

I then used this process : make custom versions of Python and mod_wsgi ourselves.
apt install apache2 apache2-dev
wget https://codeload.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tar.gz/4.9.4
tar xvfz 4.9.4
cd mod_wsgi-4.9.4
./configure --with-python=[your python path]
## For example: ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.10
sudo make
sudo make install
## Finally:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
I use python 3.10 and apache2
and the error still persists (500 internal server error)
I do not know what to do ???
I found the answer by adding to my wsgi.py file the path where django is installed

apache2 python 3.4.3 ubuntu error wsgi no module named

I try deploying Django in apache2 with python 3.4, but send error 500.

The user that Apache runs your code as is unlikely to have the ability to see anything under the /root directory. Usually only root can see into that directory. Place your application Python virtual environment somewhere else.
Also read:
http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/virtual-environments.html
for the recommended way of setting up a Python virtual environment with mod_wsgi. Use python-home as documented and not python-path.

Python/2.6.6 configured -- resuming normal operations
Looks like your mod_wsgi is compiled against Python 2.6.6 and you're trying to run Python3 code with it. The Set syntax you are seeing in the error appeared in Py3. Recompile mod_wsgi and try again.
Your wsgi.py line 9 has to be
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "teamwork.settings"
if the directory it's stored is called teamwork (your project's name)
also in your manage.py it has to be "teamwork.settings"

SOLVED
Thanks to suggestions of Volodymyr I did more digging and I find the way finnaly.
Moving project in /home directory was not working for me: getting "Forbidden" from Apache.
The file I was trying to write need absolute path:
f = open('/var/www/site2/test.txt', 'w')
Otherwise wsgi python would try to write it in "/" root file system, so the error above is explained
In the end I did chown -R 744 /var/www/site2 and it worked, writing to files and database.
Seems that I have done other error but, anyway, it works now.
Try to :
chown -R root:apache /Path/To/You/WebSitePackage
I had this problem when deploy Django with httpd on Centos 7. I chose other way : Create WEBSITE Package in home/user/ directory, then
chown -R apache:apache Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
chmod -R 770 Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
After You can try :
chown -R user:root Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
chmod -R 770 Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
chown -R apache:root Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
chmod -R 770 Path/To/WEBSITEPackage
Other words apache on centos 7 need root privelegies

Deploy Django on Apache 2.4

I have been trying to deploy my Django application on ubuntu 14.04 with the installed packages which are:
django 1.4.15
apache 2.4
python 2.7
mod_wsgi 3.4 (there is one compiled as mod_wsig.so-2.7 which is the one I use)
on my apache config I have this fields:
# Modules
LoadModule mpm_worker_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_worker.so
LoadModule mime_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so
LoadModule alias_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_alias.so
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so-2.7
LoadModule setenvif_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_setenvif.so
LoadModule authn_core_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authn_core.so
LoadModule authz_core_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_core.so
...
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
AuthType none
Require all granted
</Directory>
...
# And finally the app config.
WSGIPythonHome /home/web/.virtualenvs/web
WSGIPythonPath /PATH/TO/MYSITE:/home/web/.virtualenvs/web/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIScriptAlias / "/PATH/TO/wsgi.py"
Everything seems to be fine until I try to import one of the local modules in my system. By this I mean, the wsgi.py script runs no problem and then the django settings.py start running, in the settings I have this code:
from MYSITE.environments.prod_settings import *
environments is a module with it's own __init__.py file and all. but when it reaches that line it can't import.
The other part is that the site runs perfectly when I run ./manage.py runserver and the info in the sys.path is just the same!
I am just out of ideas on why apache wsgi will not let me import that python module.

After the module error the logs errors are about problems with database connections in general. This happens because in the wizzytest2 module I have settings overrides so that is expected.

Just added the python path too so it's easier to debug. I also fixed the newrelic issue but that doesn't makes any difference on the settings file wizzytest2 been found or not.
Now with your logs I think the trouble is evident:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/newrelic/newrelic-python-agent.log/'
The user which launches your application doesn't have the right to write in '/var/log/newrelic/newrelic-python-agent.log'.
Maybe chmod -R +w '/var/log/newrelic/' can help you. But in fact, you should place the user which launch your app in an appropriate group which can write logs.
Note:
You should use uWSGI or Gunicorn for control you app and only use apache as frontend.
At the end this was an issue with permissions on the overriding settings file I wanted to import, at the end I just needed to do a chown web:web to the file and a chmod.
