[Answer]-Deploy Django on Apache virtual host: 404

You have set this up to listen on port 8001 and rooted at /basic, so you need to access www.myhostname.com:8001/basic.

Note that you shouldn’t set DocumentRoot to the location of your Django files. It isn’t necessary to serve a Django app, and it could potentially be a security risk – a misconfiguration could mean that your code files, including any db passwords, might be served.
