Cannot run mod_wsgi on Apache 2.4 x64 Windows

Question

I have a Apache 2.2 installation with a site on Django. I load mod_wsgi.so module in my Apache config. Now I'm trying to migrate onto Apache 2.4 and have difficulties with WSGI.

First of all: my server is on Windows 2008R2 (x64).

I setup Apache 2.4 x64 (httpd-2.4.10-win64-VC11.zip from Apache Lounge) Then I downloaded mod_wsgi binary from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mod_wsgi - I took mod_wsgi‑3.5.ap24.win‑amd64‑py2.6.zip as Apache is x64 and my Python is 2.6.

In conf/httpd.conf I have

LoadModule mod_wsgi modules/mod_wsgi.so 

I'm getting error when run httpd.exe:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 179 of C:/Prog/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_wsgi.so into server : The specified module could not be found.

If I replace mod_wsgi.so with x86 version then I'll get other error about incorrect bitness, so the module seems to try be loaded. I have all vsredist (2008/9,20010/10,2012/11) installed.

What's wrong?

Answer 1

In my case the problem was wyth Python - it's x86 while everithing else is x64 (thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10447094/installing-mod-wsgi-module-for-apache)

Also the module import should be (thanks to Can't locate API module structure `mod_wsgi')

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so 

not

LoadModule mod_wsgi modules/mod_wsgi.so
