How can I get mod_wsgi working on Mac?

Question

I have been trying to install the latest version of mod_wsgi (3.3) since hours on my Mac. I\'m on Snow Leopard and I have the versions of Apache (Apache/2.2.15) and Python 2.6.1

Answer 1

I had to first run the below command to get mod_wsgi installed

brew tap homebrew/apache

And then run

brew install mod_wsgi

Answer 2

The problem you had was the path to mod_wsgi.so. On OS X the appropriate line is

LoadModule wsgi_module        libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so

Answer 3

I was having trouble getting mod_wsgi to work as well even using different peoples advice and it wasn't working, so I finally used this website: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mod_wsgi

1. Downloaded the mod_wsgi 4.5.15 file

2. Opened the file in a location I liked

3. Went to folder location in terminal

4. Did python3 setup.py install (or python if you're using a different version)

I have a MacBook Pro Version 10.12.5 in case this helps anyone.
