I get the following in my Apache error.log

I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. my virtualenv files are in /opt/myproject_app

My Django project is in /opt/myproject

django.conf

ServerName serverabc

WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py

Alias /static/ /var/www/myproject/static/
Alias /media/ /var/www/myproject/media/

<Directory /var/www/myproject>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/myproject/static>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /opt/myproject/myproject>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Files>
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess myproject.com python-path=/opt/myproject:/opt/myproject_app/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup myproject.com

The last version of Django that worked with Python 2.6 was 1.6. Either upgrade Python and rebuild mod_wsgi, or downgrade Django.

I'm using a virtualenv which is on python 2.7.8 but per the error.log it's trying to use python2.6. I thought I was configured properly that it should be reading my virtualenv at /opt/myproject_app which is python 2.7. What am I missing? is it just that I need to compile mod_wsgi against python2.7? I'm trying to do that now but getting a different error message

Yes, if you have all of 2.7 installed and running somewhere you should only need to rebuild mod_wsgi against it.
