I want to setup my flask app for apache on my ubuntu server using wsgi. But after my setup, I get the following browser error:

Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.

The apache error log throws:

Target WSGI script not found or unable to stat: 
    /var/www/html/appname/appname.wsgi

My wsgi file looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/html/appname/")

from IdeaHound import app as application
application.secret_key = 'here_the_key'

and my apache config file looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
                ServerName server_ip_here
                WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/appname/appname.wsgi
                <Directory /var/www/html/appname/>
                        Order allow,deny
                        Allow from all
                </Directory>
                ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
                LogLevel info
                CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

The appname folder has the following structure: appname

--application.py
--appname.wsgi
--LICENSE
--README.md
--requirements.txt
--db_manage.py
--appname
----frontend
----__inity__.py
----__init__.pyc
----models
----__pycache__
----socket_interface
--AppName
----__init__.py
----static
----templates
--instance
----config.py

What am I missing here to make the webserver run correctly with Flask?

Please read the following link of Digital Ocean. Do as describe in it. And your app will be up and running in just 5 mins.

Also do check the apache error logs for more information if it still throws an error.
