WSGIPythonHome "c:/program files/python36"

P.S. 'myproject' - name of project; 'mysite' - name of the site.

Answer 1

Added this to my wsgi.py:

sys.path.append('/home/django_projects/MyProject')
sys.path.append('/home/django_projects/MyProject/myproject')

All works fine now :)

Answer 2

I had this error in my django project which I had deployed in apache virtual host:

ImportError: No module named 'mysite'

It was because of wrong configuration in my vhost in apache. I has set django 1.9 config and I corrected it to Django 2.0 correct and simple config:

WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-home=/path/to/venv python-path=/path/to/mysite.com
WSGIProcessGroup example.com
