environment variables in virtualenv's postactivate using mod_wsgi

Hi, 

Hope you're well. 

I've added a couple of environment variables to my virtualenv postactivate file, for example:

export DATABASE_USER="root"

export DATABASE_PASSWORD="12345678"

I then assign those variables in my settings.py using os.environ['DATABASE_USER'], for example

DATABASE_USER = os.environ['DATABASE_USER']

Since my Apache virtualhost file contains

WSGIDaemonProcess mysite.local python-path=/my/python/path:/path/to/my/project/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages

WSGIProcessGroup mysite.local

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/my/project/wsgi.py

As I understand it, this tells mod_wsgi to run in daemon mode and which virtualenv to use.

Since it knows which virtualenv to use, I would image it would run postactivate, thereby enabling my environment variables, but this however is not the case. 

Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. 

Kind regards,

C
