python - Django deployment. Error loading MySQLdb module. Trouble reading/writing from /tmp directory

Question

I'm deploying my Django app to another host/server using mod_wsgi and MySQLdb. Right now, I'm getting a 500 error with the following log:

ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: /tmp/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.4-linux-i686.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted

Did some research and it looks like the /tmp directory is non-exacutable. Found this: http://bit.ly/ckoIep

Can anyone shed some light on this, and possibly recommend a solution?

Answer 1

Point the WSGIPythonEggs directive to a writable, executable path.
