+1 for official documents, assuming you are using Django 1.6

Good clear guidance on mod_wsgi with Apache
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/

Good guidance on wsgi if a little verbose
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/

As per the docs for version 1.6 it is wsgi.py

Your project is named MyTestProject.settings here

Perhaps you renamed part of your project?
If your project is named mywebsite located at /usr/local/www/domain1.com
then the wsgi.py file should contain something like the following six lines:

import os
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/www/domain1.com')
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mywebsite.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
