Hello,

the django docs describe the mod_wsgi daemon mode as the recommended mode of running django applications under non-windows environments.

Here is my vhost configuration for modoboa, which can be used in the docs to show how this can be achieved:

ServerName example.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/<path to modoboa>

    Alias /media/ /var/www/<path to modoboa>/mailadmin/media/
    Alias /sitestatic/ /var/www/<path to modoboa>/mailadmin/sitestatic/

    <Directory /var/www/<path to modoboa>>
            Require all granted
            #for apache-2.2 use old style AllowOrder &co.
    </Directory>

    WSGIDaemonProcess example.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-path=/var/www/<path to modoboa>:/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
    WSGIProcessGroup example.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/<path to modoboa>/mailadmin/wsgi.py

    <Directory /var/www/<path to modoboa>/mailadmin>
            Require all granted
    </Directory>

A bit of documentation already covers this part : http://modoboa.readthedocs.org/en/latest/integration/web_servers.html#mod-wsgi.

But I can update it with the few extra settings you use.
