I used chief to push to dev and stage. For both we needed to manually restart httpd for the changes to take effect, although the chief logs say that wsgi file was touched. We waited more than a couple of minutes.

For prod we waited couple of minutes and httpd was restarted successfully. The restart wasn't immediate.

Update on prod: We had to manually restart prod as well because I was getting either an outdated version or the current version or a 'Page not found' error.

After restarting both instances everything works as expected.

This was due to the fact that the app was not running as a daemon, and thus, did not respond to the "touch" method of restarting the app.  The app is now running as a daemon in dev, stage, and prod, therefore it can be "touch-restarted" in the usual fashion.
