Django import problem

Question

Im running Django with Apache in virtual env. Everything works fine, but 1 out of 10 requests results in an HTTP 500 error

When I look at the magazines that I see

[Thu Jul 17 10:52:26 2014] [error] [client 10.9.16.182] mod_wsgi (pid=32122): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/opt/juniper/config/wsgi.py'.

An application returning 500 is juniper. But I see that the error is looking for local configuration in boxy (?)

Here is my wsgi.py

import os,sys,site

site.addsitedir("/opt/pythonenv/juniper/lib/python2.7/site-packages")
sys.path.append('/opt/juniper/')
#sys.path.append('/opt/')

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'config.settings')
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'Local')

#import django.core.handlers.wsgi
#application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
from configurations.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

MIDDLEWARE Settings:

class Local(Common):
    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = Common.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES + ('debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',)

class Common(Configuration):
    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
        'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
        'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
        'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
        'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
        'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
        'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    )

Am I missing something simple ??

Answer 1

I managed to fix this with

• wgsi removal from apache
• gunicorn installation
• and then sends traffic to apache -> gunicord -> django

Thank,
