Install mod_wsgi on Ubuntu with Python 3.6, Apache 2.4, and Django 1.11
Do the following.
Uninstall your system mod_wsgi package.
sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
Install mod_wsgi using pip
, preferably into a Python virtual environment. Ensure pip
is for the version of Python you want to use.
pip install mod_wsgi
Display the config to add to Apache configuration file to load this mod_wsgi by running:
mod_wsgi-express module-config
Take the output of above command to display config and add to Apache configuration.
Add configuration to Apache to load a hello world WSGI application to test it works.
See details for pip
based install in:
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mod_wsgi
When I have used the @Graham Dumpleton suggestion to install the mod_wsgi
using pip
, got this error:
RuntimeError: The 'apxs' command appears not to be installed or is not executable.
Please check the list of prerequisites in the documentation for this package and
install any missing Apache httpd server packages.
To successfully compile and install the mod_wsgi
through pip
, I need to install the apache2-dev
package on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install -y apache2-dev
On CentOS/Red Hat:
sudo yum install httpd-devel
After that pip install mod_wsgi
completes successfully.
Hope that might help others.
