Deploying askbot to passenger

Does anyone have a code snippet to install Askbot into Passenger? I'm on Dreamhost and can't really edit httpd.conf, like manual suggests.

OSQA has a passenger_wsgi.py, for instance - I'd like to have one like that. And I don't even know Python, not saying Django.

edit: maybe it's just my configuration broken. I have:

  • Dreamhost account with web directory set to ~/mysite.com/public
  • local Python 2.5 in ~local
  • askbot directory set to ~/mysite.com/askbot and forum directory to ~/mysite.com/askbot/forum
  • the following passenger_wsgi.py in ~/mysite.com/ directory:

.

import sys,os
INTERP = "/home/mysite/local/bin/python"
if sys.executable != INTERP: os.execl(INTERP, INTERP, *sys.argv)
sys.path.append("/home/mysite/mysite.com/")
sys.path.append("/home/mysite/mysite.com/askbot/forum")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'askbot.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

The site just dies. In httpd's error.log I get things like:
