mod_wsgi denies permission to write log files inside project folder

Question

I am getting the following error while deploying the application using mod_wsgi

[Thu Apr 07 11:23:32 2011] [error] [client localhost] IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/vhosts/myproject/myproject.log'

Answer 1

It is a bad idea to put the log folder within the project folder. The process that apache uses should never have write permissions to your project folder. Put it in a /tmp/ folder or the like.
