How do I get rid of a 500 Internal Server Error with apache and django
I recently uploaded a django site which worked well until I installed apache. Once the site was ready to go live I tested the ip address only to get a 500 Internal Server Error.
The 500 error applies to all the pages of my django site.I have double checked everything i can think of without any success.
the apache error logs give me three different causes
-Failed to exec Python script file(wsgi.py)
-Exception occurred processing WSGI script(wsgi.py)
-SyntaxError: invalid syntax(settings.py: secret key)
How do I get rid of this?

Hey Scotty -
A 500 Error has a few potential causes, and I wanted to link you to another post that gives some detail on those:
For the specific errors you're getting, I found some resources for you that might help you out:
-Failed to exec Python script file(wsgi.py)
-Exception occurred processing WSGI script(wsgi.py)
This page suggests changing the wsgi.py file by adding a few lines.
-SyntaxError: invalid syntax(settings.py: secret key)
This might help you out. It looks like this may be a similar issue to what you're facing.
These are just suggestions based on what I can see. I hope they're able to help.
