If I put it in httpd.conf it stops apache loading. Technically it can go anywhere in Apache configuration files so long as it is after where mod_wsgi module was loaded. Normally one would put it in Directory block that you created to allow Apache/mod_wsgi to use WSGI script file from location you put it. What is the actual error message? If you are getting an error message with that then likely to be one of the following: 1. You aren't actually loading mod_wsgi using LoadModule line. 2. You placed the directive in Apache configuration files prior to where the LoadModule line is parsed from. 3. You spelt the directive wrong or much up the argument so it isn't being interpreted as a single argument. Have you even tried a simple hello world WSGI program to verify your mod_wsgi installation is correct? Perhaps go back and do that. See: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickInstallationGuide http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide Also have a read of the other more basic documentation on the mod_wsgi site.
