    There are several ways to configure Apache and python,
     we try wsgi, simply install libapache2-mod-wsgi, and add the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/nuage

        <VirtualHost 62.58.108.143:80>
          
          ServerName nuage.domainepublic.net

          Alias /static/ /var/www/nuage/static/
          Alias /media/ /var/www/nuage/media/

          WSGIScriptAlias / /home/chris/django/nuage/apache/django.wsgi

        </VirtualHost>

    Move the static files and link the media files

        mv static /var/www/nuage/
        ln -s /usr/share/python-support/python-django/django/contrib/admin/media/ /var/www/nuage/

    Fix permission for apache user
