I have django 1.6.5, virtual env 1.11.6, apache webserver installed. I am getting this error in my log - (13)Permission denied: [client xx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxxx] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path '/root/mysrc') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path. What I am doing wrong?

The Apache documentation deals with this error. Check the output of ls -la /root/mysrc Most likely, you just need to set the executable bit on the folder by running:

chmod +x /root/mysrc
