What kind of errors do you get? If you post the errors then they might provide a clue. I see you're not using wsgi daemon mode; I'd suggest using daemon mode, as described here <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#using-mod-wsgi-daemon-mode">https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#using-mod-wsgi-daemon-mode</a> (did you see that page? the one you linked to is sparse and outdated, probably an SEO problem)<br>
