Possible issue in deploy TG2.4.3 with mod_wsgi 4.9.0

[cap...@gmail.com]

Hello to everyone,

I am facing a issue in deploying a TG2.4.3 application using mod_wsgi 4.9.0.

I made a lot of tests and I am starting to think that may be something wrong with TurboGears itself. As a first test I have been able to deploy a simple WSGI application (copy/past from the mod_wsgi documentation), apache is capale to successfully server the application.

Then I wrote a simple pastedeploy configuration:

test.ini content:

[app:main]
use = egg:Paste#static
document_root = %(here)s/test

[loggers]
keys = root

(...)

app.wsgi content (from TG documentation):

APP_CONFIG = "/var/www/myapp/test.ini"

import logging.config
logging.config.fileConfig(APP_CONFIG)

from paste.deploy import loadapp
application = loadapp('config:%s' % APP_CONFIG)

Again Apache starts with no error and is capable to server the statis content (Paste#static).

The problem arise when i start with mod_wsgi the Wiki20 quikstart project.

Using wsgiref (with gearbox) everything start perfectly fine, but it does not with Apache.

Some information of my setup:

Python 3.7.12

Apache 2.4.52 (Debian)

mod_wsgi 4.9.0

Some line from my log:

On this configuration instead i am facing no issue:

Python 3.6.9

Apache 2.4.25 (Debian)

mod_wsgi 4.7.1

Is someone facing the same issue?

Thanks all for reading.

After digging around on my setup I see that the quickstart wont start on apache even on mod_wsgi 4.7.1 only if you use MongoDB (with ming of course).

Using sqlalchemy everything seems fine.

After a while I have been able to fix this issue for me.

On my setup I have installed also php7.4 on the same server, if you do please do not install php-xmlrpc. That library (not sure why) was creating all the issues.

Hope this can help someone else too.

Regards.
