Apache mod_wsgi instructions not being used

Question

I have a server running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1 LTS server edition, which I want to deploy a Django app on using Apache + mod_wsgi. At the moment Apache does a directory index instead of using my WSGIScriptAlias command.

Any tips why would be appreciated. I installed mod_wsgi via aptitude and assume the "module configuration" below loads it.

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

#....

# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

# Include all the user configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# Include ports listing
Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf

#....

# Include generic snippets of statements
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

in sites-enabled there are two files, 000-default-backup and mine.

000-default-backup

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

mine

<VirtualHost *:80>
    WSGIDaemonProcess project-production user=me group=me threads=10 python-path=/home/me/virtualenvs/project/lib/python2.6/site-packages

    WSGIScriptAlias /project /home/me/projects/project/releases/current/feedback/apache/feedback.wsgi
 <Directory /home/me/projects/project/releases/current/project/apache>
   WSGIProcessGroup project-production
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Looking at the error log, there is no error. So I presume something in the 000-default-backup or apach2.conf is saying "serve this up as a directory" and the WSGI commands are never getting a chance to run. The paths are all correct.

Apache has Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu).

ETA: I want my site to run on a subdirectory, i.e. foo.com/project. (I can't easily create a new subdomain.) So essentially I want the VirtualHost instructions for *:80 to be split over multiple files. Is that possible?

OK I got it working.

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

change

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

to

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-backup

000-default-backup

at the bottom before the "</VirtualHost>" line

add

Include sites-enabled/*.conf

myfile

just remove the "<VirtualHost>" and "</VirtualHost>" lines.
