What should be the URL of my Django Application

Question

I have uploaded my first Django Application called survey (Its a work in progress) using mod_wsgi with Apache on an Ubuntu VM but I don't know what the URL of it should be. My VM has been made public through a proxyPass at http://phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/bias_experiment.

When working on my application locally I simply go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/surveythree/ Based on my urls.py (below) I thought that I would simply have to go to http://phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/bias_experiment/surveythree/ to see my Survey application online. However I cant seem to find it...

My question: What URL should I be using to locate my Survey Application based on my below settings? Or have I missed some other step in the process?

The project has been uploaded, I have restarted the server, I have set it running with python manage.py runserver

Some of the urls I have tried

Below is my setup and what I have tried so far.

NOTE: I have a Bias_Experiment Django Project created in Pydev. It has three applications contained within an src folder.

survey (my working project)
polls (a tutorial i was following)
bias_experiment (the root application with my settings file etc)

My URL patterns from bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls', namespace="polls")),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),        
    url(r'^surveythree/$', SurveyWizard.as_view([SurveyForm1, SurveyForm2, SurveyForm3, SurveyForm4, SurveyForm5])),   
)

My virtual host located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/bias_experiment

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin myemail@gmail.com
ServerName phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/bias_experiment
ServerAlias phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie
WSGIScriptAlias /bias_experiment /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/index.wsgi

Alias /static/ /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/static/
<Location "/static/">
    Options -Indexes
</Location >
</VirtualHost >

My WSGI file located at /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/index.wsgi

import os
import sys
import site

# This is to add the src folder
sys.path.append('/var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment')

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'bias_experiment.settings'

# Activate your virtual env
activate_env=os.path.expanduser("/var/www/bias_experiment/bin/activate_this.py")
execfile(activate_env, dict(__file__=activate_env))

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

This is the project structure

I had a previous question related to this which had multiple issues pointed out to me which I have since fixed so I am re-posting this here. I have been following several tutorials as details in that question.

Any help with this would be massively appreciated.

Thanks Deepend

Do you have access to the Apache error log? It would be useful to know what that says. Also what exactly do you see at the non-working URLs? — Daniel Roseman, Jun 13 '14 at 16:14
@DanielRoseman I see a "404 Not Found" error page with "Not Found The requested URL /bias_experiment/surveythree/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at 134.226.38.147 Port 80" No I do not have access to the error logs — Deepend, Jun 13 '14 at 16:19

The URL should be http://phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/bias_experiment/surveythree/

I think there is one tiny error in the Apache configuration, which might be my fault (sorry): you need a trailing slash, so:

WSGIScriptAlias /bias_experiment/ /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/index.wsgi

Also note that you don't need to run manage.py runserver, that's pointless as Apache is serving your app.

No need to apologise for giving em your time. I made that change. No joy unfortunately. I also restarted the server. – Deepend Jun 13 '14 at 16:39
When you say you retstart the server, exactly what command are you running? – Daniel Roseman Jun 13 '14 at 16:40
sudo service apache2 restart – Deepend Jun 13 '14 at 16:41
Hmm. If you can run sudo, you should be able to see the Apache logs in /var/log/apache2: try doing `sudo su` then `tail /var/log/apache2/error.log`. – Daniel Roseman Jun 13 '14 at 16:47
Another thought: have you done `a2ensite bias_experiment` or copied/symlinked your Apache site from sites-available to sites-enabled? – Daniel Roseman Jun 13 '14 at 16:47
Error logs added to the original question. Sorry I did not know I could get them – Deepend Jun 13 '14 at 16:50

It is but it is not my application but rather just a twitter bootstrap front end I will be adding later. – Deepend Jun 13 '14 at 16:41

-1

Try with this changes:

Apache conf:

WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
ServerName phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie
WSGIScriptAlias /bias_experiment/ /var/www/bias_experiment/src/bias_experiment/index.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess bias_experiment processes=4 threads=25 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup bias_experiment
WSGIPassAuthorization On

And you need to restart the Apache server.

Why I get -1 If my answer is the same that has been validated as best? And with more options :s – elmonkeylp Jun 16 '14 at 15:44
