how to run Django application in apache2

Hi All i am not able to run a django application in apache2 webserver. I have went through all the document but it still did not work for me.This is my Apache2's httpd.conf file

<Location "/mysite/">
  SetHandler python-program
  PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
  SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
  PythonOption django.root /mysite
  PythonPath "['/home/djangotest/mysite'] + sys.path"
  PythonDebug On
</Location>

My django project location is at /home/djangotest/mysite in which i am running the polls application. Is there something i have to mention in settings.py or urls.py for this to work in apache2 it works fine in the dev server. or is there configuration i have to do in apache2 to work

\nDownload and install http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/files/mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz\nAdd to the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory\n\n\n\n\n<VirtualHost *:80>\n ServerName --insert--\n\n ErrorLog /home/djangotest/mysite/error_log\n CustomLog /home/djangotest/mysite/access_log combined\n\n UseCanonicalName Off\n\n WSGIScriptAlias /g2 /home/djangotest/mysite/mysite.wsgi\n WSGIDaemonProcess iproj processes=7 threads=1 display-name=%{GROUP}\n\n</VirtualHost>\n\n\n\nAdd to LoadModules secion in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf\n\nLoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so\nAdd to AddHandler section in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf\n\nAddHandler wsgi-script .wsgi\nMake sure your the httpd user can access /home/djangotest/ as well as execute your python scripts\nCreate a mysite.wsgi file:\n\n\n\n\nimport os\nimport sys\n\nsys.path.append('/home/djangotest/mysite')\nos.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'\n\nimport django.core.handlers.wsgi\napplication = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()\n\n\nOr as @Efazati said, read the manual ;)\n\n\n\nHopefuly this solves your final issue:\n\n\n no module named mysite.urls but there is a file urls.py\n\n\nCheck your settings file for \n\n\n ROOT_URLCONF = \"mysite.urls\"\n\n\nThis is the name of your urls file, I am guessing you dont have a module called mysite.urls.py ? It sounds like your property should read:\n\n\n ROOT_URLCONF = \"urls\"\n",

Try to add '/home/djangotest' to PythonPath:\n\n<Location \"/mysite/\">\n\n SetHandler python-program\n PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython\n SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings\n PythonOption django.root /mysite\n PythonPath \"['/home/djangotest', '/home/djangotest/mysite'] + sys.path\"\n\n PythonDebug On\n</Location>\n\n\nYou need to add that if you import your project's files with the syntax ..\nThe other guys here are right, though; switch to mod-wsgi if you can. Django's mod_python support will be deprecated very soon. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/modpython/\n\nedit: mod_python support is deprecated in Django 1.3, and will be removed entirely on Django 1.5.",
