Works like a charm, thanks again for this post! Edit: I still needed to modify settings.py after all, to allow manage.py syncdb and manage.py runserver to know that the apps folder should be added.

Under mod_wsgi was able to do this without editing settings.py at all, just my .wsgi file, which looks like:

import os
import sys

#Calculate the path based on the location of the WSGI script.
apache_configuration= os.path.dirname(__file__)

project = os.path.dirname(apache_configuration)
if project not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(project)

# Add re-usable apps directory to path
apps    = project + “/apps”
sys.path.append(apps)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

# To Debug path issues
#print >> sys.stderr, sys.path
