exception raised by WSGI script

edit

Hi,

My website has been running for some weeks but now I'm seeing a 500 Internal Server Error.

Looking at the logs, I see:

[...]
[Sun Jan 12 12:37:19 2014] [info] mod_wsgi (pid=9594): Create interpreter 'example.com|'.
[Sun Jan 12 09:37:20 2014] [error]
[Sun Jan 12 09:37:20 2014] [error] [client 11.123.219.127] mod_wsgi (pid=9594): SystemExit exception raised by WSGI script '/var/www/example/django.wsgi' ignored.
[...]

Please note the vertical bar after example.com

Create interpreter 'example.com|

Shouldn't it be just "example.com". Is this causing the error. Where is this setting set?

Here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com file:
