Hi, I have been deploying the django application in apache in my local ubuntu machine I’ve created a conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-availables ```auto ServerName myweb.local ServerAlias www.myweb.local DocumentRoot /home/user/web/MyApp ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/automobile.com_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/automobile.com_access.log combined Alias /static /home/user/web/MyApp/static Require all granted Require all granted WSGIDaemonProcess MyApp python-path=/home/user/web/MyApp python-home=/home/user/web/MyApp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages WSGIProcessGroup MyApp WSGIScriptAlias / /home/user/web/MyApp/MyApp/wsgi.py ``` And below line in hosts file 127.0.0.1 myweb.local And I made changes in settings file DEBUG = False ALLOWED\_HOSTS = [‘myweb.local’] When I access on Web I can see Below logs in apache error [Fri Mar 03 00:37:43.587549 2023] [wsgi:error] [pid 29572:tid 140280527312640] [client 127.0.0.1:49954] Timeout when reading response headers from daemon process ‘VahanWeb’: /home/user/web/MyApp/MyApp/wsgi.py [Fri Mar 03 00:37:46.486766 2023] [wsgi:error] [pid 29573:tid 140280661530368] [client 127.0.0.1:49962] Timeout when reading response headers from daemon process ‘VahanWeb’: /home/user/web/MyApp/MyApp/wsgi.py [Fri Mar 03 00:38:09.299136 2023] [wsgi:error] [pid 29573:tid 140280653137664] [client 127.0.0.1:35286] Timeout when reading response headers from daemon process ‘VahanWeb’: /home/user/web/MyApp/MyApp/wsgi.py [Fri Mar 03 00:38:29.179845 2023] [wsgi:error] [pid 29573:tid 140280769890048] [client 127.0.0.1:34094] Timeout when reading response headers from daemon process ‘VahanWeb’: /home/user/web/MyApp/MyApp/wsgi.py ---

The most common mistake I see with trying to run Django under Apache is attempting to use a different version of python for the application than what was used to compile the mod\_wsgi interface. From: [Virtual Environments — mod\_wsgi 4.9.2 documentation](https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/virtual-environments.html#virtual-environment-and-python-version) > When using a Python virtual environment with mod\_wsgi, it is very important that it has been created using the same Python installation that mod\_wsgi was originally compiled for. It is not possible to use a Python virtual environment to force mod\_wsgi to use a different Python version, or even a different Python installation. (more details follow on that page) ---

I followed below documentation > **[How To Serve Django Applications with Apache and mod\_wsgi on Ubuntu 14.04 |...](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-14-04)** > > Django is a powerful web framework that can help you get your Python application or website off the ground quickly.

I’ll also point out that that page you’re referencing is for an extremely old version of Ubuntu. I’m hoping you’re not still running a server on Ubuntu 14.04. If not, you need to find more current documentation. ---
