I'm trying to configure apache with django on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using mod_wsgi. I used a couple of different tutorials but none of them fully worked for me. Frustrated, I installed nginx without removing Apache. Tried configuring nginx. Failed. Removed nginx. Now I'm back to trying to configure Apache. However, I'm getting this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
Any help would be appreciated. Also if someone has experience configuring Apache with Django and could help me, I would highly appreciate it. If you need the error.log, please let me know and I'll paste it here. I installed Apache as part of the lamp stack in case you are curious.
If someone knows a tutorial that worked for them, please paste the url. I noticed that quite a few of the tutorials that I did are old, while django is a rapidly evolving framework.

Your content is trying to run out of
/home/maahd/development/django/sp-django-master, for which the user Apache is running as (www-databy default on Ubuntu) does not have access.Most likely it can't even traverse into your user's home directory, you should probably move that directory somewhere that it can access (and reconfigure accordingly) instead of mangling your home directory's permissions.
