        # To use your own django app use code like this:
        import os
        import sys
        #
        ## assuming your django settings file is at '/home/hustmck/mysite/mysite/settings.py'
        ## and your manage.py is is at '/home/hustmck/mysite/manage.py'
        path = '/home/hustmck/QualityHats-Django'
        if path not in sys.path:
            sys.path.append(path)

        os.chdir(path)
        os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE","qualityhats.settings")

        import django
        django.setup()
        #os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'

        application = get_wsgi_application()
