ISSUE:

My Apache/httpd server will not launch. journalctl -xe reveals:

Feb 27 01:50:12 localhost.localdomain httpd[4398]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 355 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Feb 27 01:50:12 localhost.localdomain httpd[4398]: Invalid command 'WSGIPythonHome', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Feb 27 01:50:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: httpd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Feb 27 01:50:13 localhost.localdomain kill[4399]: kill: cannot find process "" Feb 27 01:50:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: httpd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Feb 27 01:50:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.

httpd -S reveals:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 355 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'WSGIPythonHome', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

SPECS

  • CentOS 7 (This is a virtual machine running on an Ubuntu 18.10 host)
  • rh-python36 installed
  • rh-python36-mod_wsgi-4.5.18-1.el7.x86_64 installed
  • python virtual env created at /var/www/web-virt-env

httpd.conf:

WSGIPythonHome /var/www/web-virt-env WSGIPythonPath /var/www/html/somewebsite <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName awebsite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/somewebsite WSGIDaemonProcess somewebsite1 python-home=/var/www/web-virt-env WSGIProcessGroup somewebsite1 WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/somewebsite/somewebsite/wsgi.py <Directory /var/www/html/somewebsite/somewebsite> Require all granted </Directory> Alias /static /var/www/html/somewebsite/static <Directory /var/www/html/somewebsite/static> Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Expected output:

I expected that the site would launch when I executed systemctl start httpd

I am suspicious that rh-python36-mod_wsgi-4.5.18-1.el7.x86_64 isn't being "found," but I'm not sure how this is working behind the scenes.

What can I do to work around this? Or at least, which steps should I take next to trouble shoot this?

EUREKA!

I was able to fix the problem by adding the following before the httpd.conf additions I have displayed in the question (so, just before WSGIPythonHome /var/www/web-virt-env):

LoadModule wsgi_module /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rh-python36-wsgi.so

I put it before the virtualhost

LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so <VirtualHost 69.16.201.27:443> ServerName blue.domain.com ....

    This is what I have explained in my answer, placing it before the WSGIPythonHome line, which is before the <VirtualHost> line. Commented Jul 14, 2019 at 21:07

Installing apt package libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 helped me

    The question clearly states that it is a CentOS 7 system, so Debian/Ubuntu packages will not help. Commented Sep 10, 2020 at 23:39
