installing Django on a remote server not working

Question

I am attempting to install Django on a remote server. I have yum installed the following:

apache mod_wsgi Django mysql (python is already installed)

I have uploaded my project to the directory: /home/ec2-user

I am now on the step to point apache to the project and wsgi file. From the django site it explains that a virtual host entry must be created in the httpd.conf . I have added the following entry:

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ec2-user/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /home/ec2-user/mysite

<Directory /home/ec2-user/mysite>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>

When I hit the root of my site, I get the following error: You don't have permission to access / on this server.

If I change the user and group in httpd.conf to ec2-user which I believe is the owner of the wsgi file, I get the error: The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Am I missing a step or have I setup the virtual host incorrectly?
