Django with Apache and mod_wsgi getting a 403(Forbidden) - django

Question

I am trying to get a Django app running on Apache with mod_wsgi. I got a 403(Forbidden) for both any file in /static and /(the Django app). The apache user has permission to the wsgi.py and can list /apps/{DIR}/static. I even changed the user and group of all the file/directories in /apps/{DIR}. I can su to the apache user can traverse to wsgi.py. I can manually run apache is debug mode with httpd -X and everything works fine! (I can access the Django app and the static content) But when I run it normally it does not work, I get a 403.
RHEL 6.2,
Python 2.6.6,
Django 1.3,
httpd-2.2.15,
mod_wsgi-3.2
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
WSGIScriptAlias / /apps/{DIR}/{APP_NAME}/apache/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /apps/{DIR}/{APP_NAME}
<Directory /apps/{DIR}/{APP_NAME}/apache>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
Alias /static /apps/{DIR}/static
<Directory /apps/{DIR}/static>
Order allow,deny
Options Indexes
Allow from all
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
#Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
error in httpd/error_log
[...] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied
[...] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (13)Permission denied: Can't open directory for index: /apps/{DIR}/static/
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Answer 1

Are you running with SELinux enabled?
Are all directories from '/' down to the static media directory readable to Apache user, not just the directory itself?
