error on running my application in Django with mod_python

Question

I have win32,python2.5,django1.2, apache2.2, and mod_python3.3.1

I have installed properly mod_python. Now my application name is myapp.setting which path is c:\myapp.setting. In myapp.settings my file is myapp.settings\url.py,settings.py etc.

now in apache httpd.conf file I have changes following:-

<Location "/mysite">
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE myapp.settings
    PythonDebug On
    PythonPath "['/'] + sys.path"
</Location>

and I have tried many changes in PythonPath. but when i typed http://localhost/mysite the error is following:-

MOD_PYTHON ERROR

ImportError: Could not import settings 'myapp.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named myapp.settings

Please help me I am new in Django...

As rebus says in his comment, it's nonsense to call your project 'myapp.settings'. It's neither an app (which is a component of a site), nor is it a settings file. Call it something sensible - if you really can't think of anything, call it 'mysite'.

Finally, however, you should not be using mod_python. Use mod_wsgi instead.
