    'DjangoApis.mywebapp',

import sys
path = '/home/ji/Desktop/testcloud.aws'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)   
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'DjangoApis.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

**

urls.py in Project folder(DjangoApis):

urlpatterns = patterns('',   

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
urlpatterns = patterns('',
  (r'^api/', include('DjangoApis.myapis.url')),
  (r'^', include('DjangoApis.mywebapp.urls')),      
)

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled

 VirtualHost *:80
        ServerName test.webapp

Try to: 1) add manage.py to project directory 2) use full path to your apps - DjangoApis.mywebapp, DjangoApis.myapis — SkyFox, Dec 08 '11 at 14:11
@skyfox manage.py already there am sorry to specify that,I tried DjangoApis.mywebapp, DjangoApis.myapis,it also not working,Now I got the Django default error page with message,ImportError at / No module named mywebapp.urls,[previously I got apache's error page(I think )] And also Iadded improt mywebapp to project's urls.py file — Jisson, Dec 08 '11 at 14:26

Add:

sys.path.append('/home/ji/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis')

That you need to add both parent directory and project directory is documented in:

I edited django.wsgi as you suggested,But I don't know am still facing the problem. If I comment the line (r'^', include('mywebapp.urls')), in Project's urls.py there is no error.Also I added import DjangoApis.mywebapp in the file – Jisson Dec 09 '11 at 05:46
Is myapis directory actually readable to user that your application runs as under Apache. – Graham Dumpleton Dec 09 '11 at 06:20
Yea myapis readable and its runs under apache, Now shows the error 'ImportError at / No module named mywebapp' – Jisson Dec 09 '11 at 07:10
what is the correct way to import an app's url in project? url(r'^appurl',include(project.app.urls)) is it correct? import project.app or from project.app import urls which one is the correct way? – Jisson Dec 09 '11 at 07:21
Not only adding sys.path.append('/home/ji/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis') solves the problem. Use as below import DjangoApis.mywebapp from DjangoApis.mywebapp.urls import * (r'^', include('project.app.urls')),[also add 'projectname.app' in installed apps in settings file ] – Jisson Dec 09 '11 at 09:09
Thanks @Graham Dumpleton,now mysite loading using mod_wsgi,Now I have a problem with my sttaic files,can you look the statckoverflow link and suggest what I am missing http://stackoverflow.com/q/8456083/658976 – Jisson Dec 12 '11 at 06:01
now django tries to load /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/staticjs, instead of /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/static/js – Jisson Dec 12 '11 at 06:05
