403 Forbidden error with Django and mod_wsgi

Question

I created Django project in home directory so it is in home directory.

Setup

Django Verison  : 1.5.1 Python Version  : 2.7.5 mod_wsgi Version: 3.4 Home Directory  : /home/aettool 

Contents of /home/aettool/aet/apache/django.wsgi

import os import sys os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'aet.settings'  import django.core.handlers.wsgi application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler() 

Contect of httpd.conf

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/aettool/aet/apache/django.wsgi  <Directory /home/aettool/aet/apache> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> 

Error in error_log

[Sun Jul 21 02:01:30.923364 2013] [authz_core:error] [pid 21540:tid 1193011520] [client 10.20.17.184:51340] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/aettool/aet/apache/django.wsgi 

Contents of urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover()  urlpatterns = patterns('',     url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) 

Permissions of /home/aettool/aet : 775

Permissions of /home/aettool/aet/apache : 755

Permissions of django.wsgi file : 664

I am getting error on browser 403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Please help me out with the configuration .

EDIT

For now I am moving forward by changing

<Directory />     AllowOverride none     Require all denied </Directory> 

to

<Directory />     Order deny,allow     Allow from all </Directory> 

So,this has definitely something to do with httpd.conf file configuration,but my worry is that I only added 5 lines in that file and not able to figure out what's wrong .

Apparently this is an issue that is related to Apache 2.4 and older versions. You need to replace in your apache configuration:

Allow from all 

with

Require all granted 

in the <Files wsgi.py> section
