Apache with virtualenv and mod_wsgi : ImportError : No module named 'django'

My rep is not over 50 so I cannot comment, but I'd like to share my discovery.

In WSGIDaemonProcess, if you are using Python 3.5, you need to set exactly as @graham-dumpleton say, with

python-home=/path/to/Envs/venv

set explicitly.

However, if you are using Python 3.4 (or some older version Python like 2.7 as far as I know), you'll have to configure it as

python-path=/path/to/project:/path/to/Envs/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages

just like what the asker did.

Really weird.

You are missing a WSGIProcessGroup directive or equivalent option on WSGIScriptAlias, so your application isn't actually being run in that daemon process group where you have set the virtual environment.

See Using mod_wsgi daemon mode

I would also recommend ensuring application group is set to '%{GLOBAL}' if that is the only application you are running in the daemon process group.

Thus use:

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/project/project/wsgi.py \
    process-group=project application-group=%{GLOBAL}

Also better to use python-home for the virtual environment.

    WSGIDaemonProcess project python-path=/path/to/project \
        python-home=/path/to/Envs/venv
