Consider following apache config:

WSGIDaemonProcess testwsgi display-name=wsgi_testproject user=testproject group=testproject processes=4 threads=1
WSGIDaemonProcess cache    display-name=cache_testproject  user=testproject group=testproject processes=1 threads=1

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/testproject/testwsgi.py process-group=testwsgi application-group=%{GLOBAL}
WSGIImportScript /home/testproject/runcache.py process-group=cache application-group=%{GLOBAL}


Rename apache2 binary:

$ mv /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/apache2-bin

Create wrapper apache2 and make it executable:

$ vi /usr/sbin/apache2
#!/bin/bash
exec -a apache2_testproject /usr/sbin/apache2-bin $@

Done

$ ps faxu | grep testproject
