wamp django apache error

Question

I am trying to setup django python on wamp ( the latest). With all configurations done I get a 500 internal error. When I check my error logs I see that there is a syntax error and I compare with what I find from google and its the same. I have copied it here so please tell me what the problem is please. For background I am using Windows 7 64bit Professional with wamp 2.2 32bit. here are my configs:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

    
WSGIScriptAlias / "d:/projects/testproject/django.wsgi"
[Directory D:/projects/testproject]
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
[/Directory]

This is my django.wsgi:


import os
import os.path
import sys
sys.path.append('d:/projects/') 
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'testProject.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()


[Wed Mar 28 01:11:33 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_wsgi (pid=680, process='', application='localhost|'): Failed to parse WSGI script file 'D:/projects/testproject/django.wsgi'.

[Wed Mar 28 01:11:57 2012] [notice] Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.

I am sure there is something I am missing. Please help.

In the error logs it puts a caret (^) under os.environ saying there is a syntax error. So I did what graham suggested and made sure of my line endings but still errors is all I get. Error 500 Internal Error.

edited my code snippets and added the django.wsgi file thanks pastylegs — Joseph Izang

You likely have mixed line endings in the file. IOW, mixture of \r\n and \n, or maybe even \r. Line endings need to be consistent.

thanks but I even made sure that there were no new lines after the last line in my wsgi file and still I get error 500 internal error.I actually don't know what else to do. I could install a django stack but isn't that overkill? I have never been able to do this i have tried a few times and its the same error always. Thanks for trying graham.

try in wsgi.py:

import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.sep.join(os.path.abspath(__file__).split(os.sep)[:-2]))
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "testproject.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

and then in httpd.conf:

WSGIScriptAlias /test "d:\projects\testproject\testproject\wsgi.py"

Finally you should create an alias Alias /test/ "c:/projects/testproject/"

<Directory "c:/projects/testproject/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And that's all. Now go to localhost/test
