configure mod_wsgi to run with python3.6

[nitzan...@blueteamglobal.com]

Hey,

I have an ubuntu server with apache that I would like to run my Flask app on (python3.6).

I have installed mod_wsgi and enabled it:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi 

sudo a2enmod wsgi

I have a file in my project "runtime.txt" that has inside "python-3.6.3"

When I try to surf to the site, I get "Internal Server Error" and that's because my project could only run with python versions 3.6+ (it has type hinting).

When looking in the apache logs, I see that it runs python2.7

mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.7.11.
mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/2.7.12.

Thanks,

Nitzan

You cannot point mod_wsgi compiled for Python 2.7 at a Python 3.6 virtual environment. This is explained in the documentation on virtual environments.

http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/virtual-environments.html

You will need to uninstall the system package for mod_wsgi and compiled mod_wsgi yourself from source code against Python 3.6 and use it.

The easiest way to do that is to use the 'pip install mod_wsgi' method described in:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mod_wsgi

Once installed, use 'mod_wsgi-express start-server' if using to use it for development from the command line.

To integrate into system Apache for permanent solution, run ``mod_wsgi-express module-config`` to get the configuration to include into Apache to load your compiled mod_wsgi module. Then configure Apache as per normal.

Ensure you read write through the PyPi doc page for mod_wsgi as it explains more about manual integration using 'pip install' version.
