1 month ago You have added a few overlapping different things to configure the virtual environment which we need to fix first.
Instead of:
WSGIDaemonProcess capacity_management python-home=/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv python-path=/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv/lib64/python3.7/site-packagesuse:
WSGIDaemonProcess capacity_management python-home=/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv python-path=/var/www/html/capacity_managementThis does not add site-packages to python-path and instead uses python-path to set the location of your Python project code. Do see note about location about that below though.
You don't need any of the following in the WSGI script file.
# Specify the path to the virtual environment
#venv_path = '/var/www/html/capacity_management/myenv'
venv_path = '/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv'
# Use the virtual environment's Python interpreter
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(venv_path, 'lib', 'python3.7', 'site-packages'))
# Activate the virtual environment
activate_env = os.path.join(venv_path, 'bin', 'activate_this.py')
with open(activate_env) as f:
exec(f.read(), {'__file__': activate_env})This is handled by the WSGIDaemonProcess options for python-home.
Also don't use:
# Add the project directory to the Python path
sys.path.insert(0, '/var/www/html/capacity_management')Rely on the python-path setting on WSGIDaemonProcess instead.
For good measure, after:
WSGIPythonHome "/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv"add:
WSGIRestrictEmbedded OnThis disables mod_wsgi for Apache worker processes and only allows Python interpreter usable by mod_wsgi daemon processes.
I don't believe these issues in themselves should be the cause of the problem though.
Also check that you don't have a wsgi.load file somewhere in the Apache configuration files placed there by a system package for mod_wsgi which is loading a mod_wsgi.so from Apache modules directory. In other words, you need to ensure not loading system package for mod_wsgi since you are using mod_wsgi installed to the virtual environment. Use a2dismod or other appropriate Apache system command to disable use of system package for mod_wsgi by Apache if necessary. That said, if you don't have system package for mod_wsgi installed, it can still be valid that you have manually created wsgi.load and enabled use of it if with contents of:
LoadModule wsgi_module "/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py37.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/home/ec2-user/capacity_management/myenv"Next check that the user home directory /home/ec2-user is accessible to the Apache user.
By default various Linux systems have the home directory with permissions drwx------. You want it to be drwxr-xr-x. If it doesn't have r-x for others, Apache user will not be able to load anything from the home directory.
Also be aware that it is bad practice to place your Python project code under /var/www/html as it appears you might since you are adding /var/www/html/capacity_management to Python path. By placing source code under that parent directory, it puts it in a location where depending on other Apache configuration could mean that users could download your source code.
After making these changes make sure you do a full stop of the Apache server and restart it. Not a reload. That or restart the whole VM. This is to ensure that Apache has no cached loading of an old mod_wsgi module in memory.
Finally, don't use Anaconda Python if you are. Use standard Python distro supplied with Linux system. The Anaconda Python distribution doesn't always work as they keep breaking the ability for it to be embedded.

Hello, this is my first time using Apache, as well as Amazon Linux 2, and while I have been trying to configure it for days, I am stuck in this error for days now. I tried doing multiple configurations but to no avail, the errors are still the same. I looked into previous threads and it seems they found a solution but I cant seem to find a solution for my problem.
Here are some of the config files and their contents:
apache config
My main.wsgi:
running mod_wsgi-express module-config:
I am not sure what to do next. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!
