Problem

Using OS X Yosemite and Python 2.7, I am trying to follow a simple hello world in Flask with Apache WSGI , but I get this error when I execute apachectl -S

:

httpd: Syntax error on line 171 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load libexec/mod_wsgi.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/mod_wsgi.so, 10): image not found

      

        
        
        
      

    

What i tried

First I put the file in /usr/libexec/apache2/

with other mod_*

files. Second, I tried to follow Graham Dumpleton's answer and check the following steps:

1. You have no hidden extensions and added the extension twice.

gwg$ file /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

      

        
        
        
      

    

2. That the mod_wsgi.so file is readable by any Apache user.

I don't know exactly how to do this, but I was just checking the file permissions of other files .so

. For example:

gwg$ ls -l mod_vhost_alias.so 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19472 Sep  9 18:11 mod_vhost_alias.so

      

        
        
        
      

    

and

gwg$ ls -l mod_wsgi.so 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  209564 Dec  4 17:05 mod_wsgi.so

      

        
        
        
      

    

3. That your Apache is 32 [64] bit.

I'm not sure how to do this.

      

        
        
        
      

    

4. That your Python is 32 bit [64].

In this SO answer ::

>>> import struct
>>> print struct.calcsize("P") * 8
64

      

        
        
        
      

    

5. To have your Python installed for all users, not just the user, you installed it as.

gwg$ sudo su -
root# python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Sep  9 2014, 15:04:36)
