Apache 2.4 config for askbot 0.11.x

Hi, I try to set up an askbot 0.11.x (more precise 0.11.8). I have askbot 0.11.8 and apache 2.4 installed in a docker container.

After running 

askbot-setup -r /opt/b2-askbot --proj-name b2-askbot --admin-name "Matthias Schnepf" --admin-email "matthias.schnepf@kit.edu" --db-engine=sqlite  --db-name askbot-db --force  --noinput
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

I can run the website with python manage.py runserverhostname -i:8000

However, when I use my apache config, based on the example, I get first a Forbidden in my browser. That can be fixed by adding

 <Location />
   require all granted
 </Location>

in the Apache config and downloading the django.wsgi from the askbot GitHub.

However, now the website does not load, and in the Apache log I just see:

and an Gateway Timeout in the browser.

Since the site works via the development server, I assume it is a problem with my apache config:
