Why getting a 403 error on plesk trying to run Django

Been following a tutorial on udemy for python, and atm im suppose to get a django app deployed.
Since I already had a vps, I didnt go with the solution on the tutorial using google cloud, so tried to configure the app on my vps, which is also running plesk.

Followed the tutorial at https://www.plesk.com/blog/tag/django-plesk/ to the letter the best I could, but keep getting the 403 error.

httpdocs
-djangoProject
---djangoProject
------asgi.py
------__init__.py
------settings.py
------urls.py
------wsgi.py
---manage.py
-passenger_wsgi.py
-python-app-venv
-tmp

passenger_wsgi.py:

import sys, os
ApplicationDirectory = 'djangoProject' 
ApplicationName = 'djangoProject' 
VirtualEnvDirectory = 'python-app-venv' 
VirtualEnv = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), VirtualEnvDirectory, 'bin', 'python') 
if sys.executable != VirtualEnv: os.execl(VirtualEnv, VirtualEnv, *sys.argv) 
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ApplicationDirectory)) 
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ApplicationDirectory, ApplicationName)) 
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.getcwd(), VirtualEnvDirectory, 'bin')) 
os.chdir(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ApplicationDirectory)) 
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', ApplicationName + '.settings') 
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application 
application = get_wsgi_application()

passenger is enabled in

"Tools & Settngs > Apache Web Server"

in "Websites & Domains > Domain > Hosting & DNS > Apache & nginx settings" I’ve got:

"Additional directives for HTTP" and "Additional directives for HTTPS" both with:

PassengerEnabled On
PassengerAppType wsgi
PassengerStartupFile passenger_wsgi.py

and nginx proxy mode marked

"Reverse Proxy Server (nginx)" is also running

No idea what else I can give to aid in getting a solution, so if you’re willing to assist and need more info please let me know.

Very thankfull in advance

EDIT:

on a previous attempt, deploying a real app on a subdomain, was getting:

[Thu Apr 01 22:52:37.928495 2021] [autoindex:error] [pid 23614:tid

DirectoryIndex

found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options

This time I’m getting no errors logged

EDIT2:

@Chris:

Not sure what you mean, find no errors on the log folders (ssh), but on Plesk I get this several times:

2021-04-01 23:40:48 Error 94.61.142.214 403 GET /

EDIT 3:

removing apache directives and adding to nginx directives:

passenger_enabled on;
passenger_app_type wsgi;
passenger_startup_file passenger_wsgi.py;

Now gives me a Passenger error page, log as follows:
