Update: Changed permission on virtual environment directory and now getting permission errors: [Fri Sep 29 19:12:35.371053 2017] [wsgi:warn] [pid 33023] (13)Permission denied: mod_wsgi (pid=33023): Unable to stat Python home /var/www/swpdoc/venswpdoc.

Solution

  • Usually caused by you trying to make mod_wsgi use a Python virtual environment for a different version of Python than mod_wsgi was compiled for.

    Check what version of Python mod_wsgi is compiled for.

    Indicate what version of Python your virtual environment was created against.
