Invalid command 'WSGIDaemonProcess'

[Jose Sibande]

I just uploaded my application to my server and this is the error that
I am getting when I try to restart apache:
Restarting web server: apache2Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/
httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'WSGIDaemonProcess', perhaps misspelled or defined by
a module not included in the server configuration
failed!

And my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin jose@localhost
ServerName scihelp.info

WSGIDaemonProcess mocenter user=jose group=jose threads=25
WSGIProcessGroup mocenter

Alias /admin_media /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/
admin/me$

<Location /admin_media>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>

Alias /media/ /home/jose/Django/mocenter/media/

<Directory /home/jose/Django/mocenter/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/jose/Django/mocenter/apache/django.wsgi

<Directory /home/jose/Django/mocenter/apache>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Everything worked well on my local server

You don't seem to be actually loading the mod_wsgi module. According
to the mod_wsgi installation docs[1], you should do this before the
VirtualHosts:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

And if it isn't that, be aware that daemon mode isn't available for
the following:

1. Windows.
2. Apache 1.3 on UNIX
3. Apache 2.X where the underlying Apache Runtime Libraries are not
built with thread support.

Number 3 is still sometimes the case on BSD systems. Note that 3 has
got nothing to do with prefork MPM. If the APR has thread support,
even if you are using prefork MPM, you can still use daemon mode.
