I’ve tried so much and feels i’m stuck and not getting anywhere Apache is giving an error which is

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘wearpretty.settings’

I’m using
python 3.6,
Django2.1,
apache2,
libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

Below are the files which are being used in this.

wsgi.py

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "wearpretty.settings"
application = get_wsgi_application()

virtualhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName lhwearpretty.com
    ServerAlias www.lhwearpretty.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/wearpretty

    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/wearpretty>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIDaemonProcess lhwearpretty.com python-home=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/venv python-path=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty
    WSGIProcessGroup lhwearpretty.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/wearpretty/wsgi.py

    Alias /static/ /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/static/ 

    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/static> 
        Require all granted 
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

As i started this myself i figured out there's some issue with naming of my directories. Anyone who's starting first time he should be aware you can't use your Site dir name as your Project name. so i changed it.

Old Structure

Site Dir = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty
Project Dir = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty
venv = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/venv

New Structure

Site Dir = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty
Project Dir = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite
venv = /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/venv

Virtualhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName lhwearpretty.com
    ServerAlias www.lhwearpretty.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite


    WSGIDaemonProcess lhwearpretty.com python-home=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearprettyenv python-path=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite
    WSGIProcessGroup lhwearpretty.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite/mysite/wsgi.py


    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    Alias /static/ /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite/static/ 

    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/mysite/static> 
        Require all granted 
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Hopefully This'll help others as well.

(Edit)

Your DocumentRoot should be one folder up (minus 1 /wearpretty) and python-path var in WSGIDaemonProcess should be one down (plus 1 /wearpretty) : they must point to you Django Project root.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName lhwearpretty.com
    ServerAlias www.lhwearpretty.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty

    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/wearpretty>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIDaemonProcess lhwearpretty.com python-home=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/venv python-path=/var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty
    WSGIProcessGroup lhwearpretty.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/wearpretty/wsgi.py

    Alias /static /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/static/ 

    <Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty/static> 
        Require all granted 
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Also, I would recommend to add this Directory node :

<Directory /var/www/myprojects/wearpretty/wearpretty>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
