Error trying to configure apache and django - django

Question

I'm trying to install a django 1.3 app on apache 2.2 with mod_wsgi on windows 7. I added the following lines to httpd.conf
Listen 8080
...
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
Alias /static/ "C:/Users/.../my_app/my_app/static/"
<Directory "C:/Users/.../my_app/my_app/static">
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
<Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/Users/.../my_app/my_app/wsgi.py"
WSGIPythonPath "C:/Users/.../my_app/"
<Directory "C:/Users/.../my_app/my_app">
<Files wsgi.py>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files>
<Directory>
wsgi.py
import os
import sys
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'my_app.settings')
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandlers()
path = 'C:/Users/.../my_app/my_app'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
The wsgi.py file is in the same folder as settings.py and urls.py
When I go to localhost:8080 it says:
Not found The requested URL / was not found on this server
Note: I'm totally new to apache, I don't know what i'm missing, some docs show a way to configure it and others show a completly diferent way to do the same thing.
Any ideas of what's wrong with this configuration.

Since you are using Windows 7, my first guess is permissions. Anything past the "Users" folder is going to have weird permissions issues. When I develop anything on Windows locally, I always place the project in a root folder, like "C:/projects/django/my_project/". Also, make sure you look at the Windows Firewall settings (if anything, for debug, disable Windows Firewall for a mo, or better yet add a Firewall rule):

Honestly, half of my trouble with windows is making sure project and development settings are outside of core structures. Don't install services to "C:/Program Files" or make projects folder in "C:/Users".
