Mod_wsgi (19) Permission denied while deploying a django application using Apache

Hello guys, I am quite new to Linux so your help and patience is very much appreciated.

I have been trying to deploy a django website on an Ubuntu instance. I have successfully setup an apache configuration file, and then removed the secret token from the settings.py file in the django project, putting it somewhere safe. When I tried to check if my website was working, it gave me this error in apache error.log file:

https://prnt.sc/_rv3zM3Z0K5x

I have checked the configuration file to make sure that the path was the correct the one. I am sharing a screenshot of that apache configuration as well for reference:

I have tried running chown and chmod on both the venv in that directory and also on the main directory. I also ran ls -la to see if the permissions are correct as shown in this screenshot:

Unfortunately, as I am still a beginner, I couldn’t have figured out what the next steps should be. I did try looking at stack overflow and different articles, but a lot of them are not very specific to the issue I am facing.

Your help and guidance would be much appreciated, thank so much in advance for it.
