Exception occurred processing WSGI script :: ImportError: No module named 'subdomains'

Question

I am running an app in apache2 with wsgi, but I am getting this error:

> mod_wsgi (pid=26904): Exception occurred processing WSGI script

this is my middleware which contains subdomains:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'subdomains.middleware.SubdomainURLRoutingMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

I have installed django-subdomains using pip, and it's available in site-packages.

When working in a virtual environment, you need to set the PYTHONPATH variable.

You can do the following:

• Make a init.sh file just outside your project directory
• Make the file executable (<chmod 777 filename>)
• In the init.sh:

ABS_WORK_DIR = 'pwd -P'

export PYTHONPATH = ${ABS_WORK_DIR}/apps:${ABS_WORK_DIR}/lib:${ABS_WORK_DIR}/local
