I have install python 26, Apache 2.2, modwsgi ap2.2 py26 On windows XP.
and apache loads modwsgi fine.
when I check localhost: apache says – It works!
but when i try to open the Django directory mysite: localhost/mysite i
get :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mysite on this server.
I have re-installed and installed this many times but still the same
thing. The tutorial says should get: It worked
httpd.conf
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGIScriptAlias / /mysite/apache/mysite.wsgi
runs fine, as in: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modwsgi/
My project path is C:\mysite
and according to "http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modwsgi/"
mysite.wsgi path is C:\mysite\apache\mysite.wsgi

This configuration snippet is from Linux, not Windows, but (pathname differences aside) should be pretty representative of a good mod_wsgi configuration. Given the symptoms you've described, it sounds like you didn't get the directory permissions block for mysite.wsgi correct. In short, anyone you want to view any part of your site must have 'access' to the directory that contains that file. 

WSGIProcessGroup  foo
WSGIDaemonProcess foo processes=2 threads=5 home=/data/web/foo display-name=foo

DocumentRoot /var/www

WSGIScriptAlias / /data/web/foo/apache/django.wsgi
<Directory /data/web/foo/apache>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /static/ /data/web/foo/site/foo/static/
<Directory /data/web/foo/site/foo/static/>
  SetHandler None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
