Django Apache mod_wsgi permission errors

Question

Have setup Django in virtualenv but get 500 Internal Server Error. Development server worked fine.

Environment:

Python 2.7.12
Apache 2.4.23
Django 1.10
Fedora 24

Server log:

[Mon Aug 29 12:27:49.364393 2016] [mime_magic:error] [pid 19158] [client 14.2.108.225:49222] AH01512: mod_mime_magic: can't read `/home/fedora/motorable/motorable/wsgi.py'

Configuration:

Alias /static /home/fedora/motorable/static
<Directory /home/fedora/motorable/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /home/fedora/motorable/motorable>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
    </Files>
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess motorable python-path=/home/fedora/motorable:/home/fedora/mot$
WSGIProcessGroup motorable
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/fedora/motorable/motorable/wsgi.py
WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi

WSGI is running in daemon mode, I tried adding the WSGISocketPrefix directive but I'm not sure what else to check or do. First time experimenting with Django here. The user home directory is 710 and should allowing Apache in, I added apache user to the primary group of fedora.

Can anyone share some insight?

Offtopic, but if First time experimenting with Django here you should know that you can also use uwsgi , here is about how to connect uWSGI + Django docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/uwsgi and here how Apache + uWSGI uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Apache.html — Ivan Borshchov

wsgi.py is set 664 but I did chown to the web server group and still nothing. @user3479125 I'm not sure if another interface module will address the underlying problem. — 0x1801ce

Are you running SELinux? Is your home directory permissions such that others cannot read/search it? — Graham Dumpleton

Moving the project outside the home directory to /var/www/django solved my question.

Disabling SELinux did the trick for me. on RHEL system, steps were as follows:

$ sudo yum install grubby
$ sudo grubby --update-kernel ALL --args selinux=0
$ sudo reboot
