I have deployed my Django project on AWS Lightsail using Apache and mod\_wsgi for prod deployment. Created SSL certificates - they are ok.  
Turned DEBUG off in settings.py and followed Bitnami and Django prod deployment recommendations.  
Updated Apache https-vhost config.  
When I restart Apache server my app should start - but it doesn’t.  
I guess something is wrong with Apache config, but I cannot figure what.  
Please help!
