[Django]-Deploying Django application on Webfaction

2👍

When you setup a Django project on webfaction, you get a file structure like so:

~ (your home directory)
    +webapps
        +some_project_name
            +myproject
                -standard django files
                -settings.py
                -app_directory
            +apache2
                +bin
                    -start
                    -stop
                    -restart
                -other dirs
            -bin
            -lib
            -myproject.wsgi
        -some_project2
        -symlink_to_static_files

If you are building your project under “myproject”, you should not have to modify the wsgi file to get started- just change to the apache2/bin directory and run ./start and you’re good to go!
If you change the wsgi file you’ll need to run ./stop then ./start to activate the changes.

If the path you listed isn’t working, it may be worth trying to create a generic django project and just puaste your project right over ‘myproject’

It seems like your service provider has already given you some helpful instructions:
