Insatll mod_wsgi on REDHAT 7

[anubhaw2091]

So I have been trying to install mod_wsgi on REDHAT7 from few days. Yet not succeed.

Following this link QUICK INSTALL.

So I have managed to install the file using make install.

ldd /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so gives me the following.

[root@redhat mod_wsgi-4.5.22]# ldd /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so
    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd5ccb3000)
    libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /root/anaconda3/lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f89ff184000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f89fef60000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f89fed5c000)
    libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x00007f89feb59000)
    librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007f89fe950000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f89fe64e000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f89fe28b000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00005585dde37000)

Inorder to get this, I had to set env variable.

[root@redhat lib]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/anaconda3/lib
[root@redhat lib]# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/root/anaconda3/lib

I also added the following line in httpd file LoadModule wsgi_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

But now when am trying to restart apache am getting error and when I run journalctl -xe I get the following.

httpd: Syntax error on line 57 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so into server: libpython3.6m.so.1.0: cannot open sha....

My ultimate motive is to install a flask application on redHat.

[GrahamDumpleton]

When building mod_wsgi from source code, set the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable and export it.

LD_RUN_PATH=/root/anaconda3/lib

It only needs to be set when building it.

You will also need to set:

WSGIPythonHome /root/anaconda3

in the Apache configuration.

Better than the way you are installing it, is to use pip to install it.

pip install mod_wsgi

Then run:

mod_wsgi-express module-config

That will output the config for you to add to the Apache configuration.

Do be aware that Anaconda Python cannot be used if you want to use mod_ssl in Apache. This is because Anaconda Python ships with its own SSL libraries that are incompatible with system SSL libraries and mod_ssl witll pull in system libraries first, resulting in anything in the Python application using SSL not working.

[anubhaw2091]

I uninstalled mod_wsgi and then removed the lines which I added in httpd conf file. Later I removed the env variables too.

As suggested by you, I ran pip install mod_wsgi

After that

[root@redhat opt]# mod_wsgi-express module-config
LoadModule wsgi_module "/root/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py36.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/root/anaconda3"
[root@redhat opt]# httpd -t
Syntax OK
[root@redhat opt]# service httpd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart httpd.service

I also added the following line in httpd conf file.

#added by anubhaw
#LoadModule wsgi_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so
LoadModule wsgi_module "/root/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py36.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/root/anaconda3"
#add end

But now am getting error in var/log/httpd/error_log file.

[GrahamDumpleton]

The directory /root/anaconda3 is likely not accessible to anyone except the root user.

Generally it is a bad idea to install stuff under /root. That is the home directory for the root account and normal users wouldn't be able to access it.

[anubhaw2091]

Let's say for testing purpose I give all the permission to root folder. How do I do it? What permission should I give it?

Current situation :

[root@redhat ~]# ls -ld /root/anaconda3/
drwxr-xr-x. 22 root root 4096 Dec 14 11:47 /root/anaconda3/

Maybe once I get it up and running, I will install anaconda in /opt folder and repeat the whole process.

[GrahamDumpleton]

Giving access to /root/anaconda3/ is not enough. The problem is the /root directory. Your should really install it under /opt instead from outset otherwise nothing besides root can use it.

[GrahamDumpleton]

Being under /root, you could also be blocked from access it as Apache user due to SELinux setup.

[anubhaw2091]

Ohh. Let me repeat the whole thing after installing anaconda in /opt folder and get back to you.

Thanks for prompt responses. :)

[anubhaw2091]

I installed anaconda in /opt/anaconda3.

After that I removed mod_wsgiusingpip uninstall mod_wsgi`

After that I installed mod_wsgi

[root@redhat ~]# pip install mod_wsgi
Collecting mod_wsgi

I already added the following line in http conf file.

#added by anubhaw
#LoadModule wsgi_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so
LoadModule wsgi_module "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py36.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/opt/anaconda3"
#add end

Going by the error which am getting, I should compile the mod_wsgi with the python version which I use. So basically am again back to square one. :(

[GrahamDumpleton]

Because you moved where Anaconda was installed, you must make sure you do not use the cached build of mod_wsgi. Try:

pip install --no-cache-dir mod_wsgi

[anubhaw2091]

I uninstalled anaconda using below codes. (Got it on Stack)

conda install anaconda-clean   # install the package anaconda clean
anaconda-clean --yes           # clean all anaconda related files and directories 
rm -rf ~/anaconda3             # removes the entire anaconda directory

rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup       # anaconda clean creates a back_up of files/dirs, remove it 
                                # (conda list; cmd shouldn't respond after the clean up)

But pip install --no-cache-dir mod_wsgi did the trick.

Got AH00163: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips PHP/5.4.16 mod_wsgi/4.5.23 Python/3.6 configured -- resuming normal operations in error log.

Thanks a ton. Now I'll try to run a flask application.

One more question : I have a situation in which I can't use pip install mod_wsgi due to company policy. Because of that I copied the tar file and then installed in using make install . How do I make it work in that situation?

[GrahamDumpleton]

The cache for pip is in your home directory so removing and reinstalling Anaconda Python wouldn't have made a difference.

Instructions for the configure/make/make install method installation are found in:

• http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/quick-installation-guide.html

The issue with shared library not being found is mentioned in:

• http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/installation-issues.html#unable-to-find-python-shared-library

You need to set the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable to library directory where Anaconda Python shared library is. Also set WSGIPythonHome to be what sys.prefix gives for Anaconda Python.

I already mentioned LD_RUN_PATH and WSGIPythonHome above.

The reason things weren't working before for you with that would have been because you had things under /root.

[anubhaw2091]

Thanks. Will try that and update for the same.

Thanks a lot.

[anubhaw2091]

So I need to reopen this issue.

I again ran into a situation where I don't have internet connection and mod_wsgi is just not getting installed.

Steps which I took.

1. Installed Anaconda in /opt/Anaconda
2. Downloaded the latest mod_wsgi from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mod_wsgi
3. Followed http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/quick-installation-guide.html to install it.
4. Managed to follow the steps till http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/quick-installation-guide.html#building-the-source-code .
5. Now comes the Loading Module Into Apache part. In the httpd config file, there is a line Include conf.modules.d/*.conf on line number 56 and in conf.modules.d folder, I have a file named 10-wsgi.conf after installing mod-wsgi whose content are as follows,

LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

So basically I didn't need to additionally add the LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so into the httpd conf file. (Although I tried adding that, didn't change the problem).

6. Now I navigate to /usr/lib64/httpd/modules folder.

[root@demoDB ~]# cd /usr/lib64/httpd/modules
[root@demoDB modules]# ldd mod_wsgi.so
    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffce896e000)
    libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /opt/Anaconda/lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f53c04ba000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f53c0296000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f53c0092000)
    libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x00007f53bfe8f000)
    librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007f53bfc86000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f53bf984000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f53bf5c1000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000560e483ea000)
[root@demoDB modules]# 

I can see the libpython3.6m.so.1.0 path. The file is there.

7. Now I check the syntax of http conf, stop the httpd service, and try to start the service.

[root@demoDB modules]# httpd -t
Syntax OK
[root@demoDB modules]# service httpd stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop httpd.service
[root@demoDB modules]# service httpd start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[root@demoDB modules]# 

8. Now I run journalctl -xe to see the issue and I get this,

-- Unit httpd.service has begun starting up.
Mar 08 14:45:14 demoDB.cat-api.com httpd[2244]: httpd: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-wsgi.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so into server: libpython3.6m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

-- Subject: Unit httpd.service has failed
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
--

I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH

[root@demoDB modules]# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/Anaconda/lib
[root@demoDB modules]# echo $LD_RUN_PATH
/opt/Anaconda/lib
[root@demoDB modules]# 

So basically I tried everything as suggested but am not able to get it working.

I tried referring to the conf file of the server where I installed it using pip, and it was fairly simple( although I don't get the same structure of mod_wsgi folder inside anaconda.

LoadModule wsgi_module "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py36.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/opt/anaconda3"

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

[GrahamDumpleton]

You can't have set and exported the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable when building mod_wsgi.

make distclean
./configure --with-python /opt/Anaconda/bin/python
LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/Anaconda/lib make
make install

So I am setting LD_RUN_PATH on the same line as the make command.

Alternatively use:

LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/Anaconda/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH
make

Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as it will confuse things when you run ldd to check that the shared library is found. You only need to set LD_RUN_PATH for doing the build.

As I said before, using the pip install method may be better as it should ensure LD_RUN_PATH is set for the build automatically.

If all else fails, add before the LoadModule line:

LoadFile /opt/Anaconda/lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0

[anubhaw2091]

Sorry for replying late.

So I followed your instruction and this is what I did.( For future reference for others.)

1. Unset the Variables.

2. [root@demoDB mod_wsgi-4.6.2]# make distclean

3. Then ./configure

Then installed it with `[root@demoDB mod_wsgi-4.6.2]# make install`.

In the httpd error log  file, I got `[Sun Mar 11 07:03:29.112855 2018] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 5824] AH00163: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) mod_wsgi/4.6.2 Python/3.6 configured -- resuming normal operations`

I think it got configured properly but I ran into another problem which I can't figure out.

I need to run the flask application so I added `WSGIPythonHome "/opt/anaconda3"` in the httpd conf file.

But when am trying to start the application am getting the following error.

I guess am struck at the end, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

[GrahamDumpleton]

As the errors indicate, the configure never ran properly so there was no point doing a make afterwards and trying to use the result.

I would need to see the result of running:

sh -x ./configure --with-python /opt/Anaconda/bin/python

to even start to work out what the problem is, but it looks a little like you may have some program in your PATH which hides a normal system program, or there is something else incomplete about your operating system.

I really suggest you ignore the configure/make/make install method and use the pip install method I told you to use previously. That is run pip install mod_wsgi to install it somewhere, and then run:

mod_wsgi-express module-config

to output the configuration to add to Apache to have it load the mod_wsgi version installed using pip.

[anubhaw2091]

I ran the sh -x ./configure --with-python /opt/Anaconda/bin/python command and https://gist.github.com/anubhaw2091/609c38bb94f6ced826759461f328e272 is the output of the command.

I totally agree that pip install mod_wsgi is the easiest method for all this as this is what I did on my system and it works like a charm but I just can't access internet on company's server. That's out of question.

but it looks a little like you may have some program in your PATH which hides a normal system program, or there is something else incomplete about your operating system.

To replicate the scenario, I bought a OS from blue mix with minimal or literally nothing installed in it. Configuring mod_wsgi is the first thing which am doing on this server.

[root@demoDB mod_wsgi-4.6.2]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)

I really don't have any option other than to install mod_wsgi offline on the company server and then run the dashboard which I made in flask.

Just hope I get a working solution.

Thanks

[GrahamDumpleton]

You can use pip install offline. Instead of configure/make/make install in the source directory, run:

pip install .

[anubhaw2091]

Whoa! That was damn simple. Thanks a ton @GrahamDumpleton

[GrahamDumpleton]

Note that if you have no network connectivity at all, you may have to supply the:

--disable-pip-version-check

option.

Another alternative is:

python setup.py install

You could also investigate building Python wheels on a separate box and then installing using pip from a directory of pre-built wheel files for packages.

So lots of options for offline installs.

As to using configure, it seems it is important to use form:

./configure --with-python=/opt/Anaconda/bin/python

IOW, use = on --with-python and not have path to python as separate argument.

Yeah. I did have to disable the version check in order to make it work. But I think, it's not mentioned explicitly anywhere as to how to install it offline(I might have missed it, no offence to you). It would be awesome if you could add something in installation guide explicitly for offline installation.

I believe this is what was missing from my end. I didn't use "=" . I will try this on my company server and will give an update.

Gents I am having some troubles here.

I am trying to deploy a django project using an anaconda environment, with apache and mod_wsgi. I have managed to install mod_wsgi (using pip) and configure django (mod_wsgi-express). But I am not able to get it started. The critcal error message is:

OSError: /lib64/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by [path to my anaconda environments folder]/django37/lib/./libpng16.so.16)

I am able to start do the failing import when starting a django-shell, so I am wondering if I need to tell apache/mod_wsgi something special to get it to import the correct libraries (I can find the correct zlib files in my environ/lib folder).

Any help is appreciated.
