Error reading WSGI handler. Deploy django for an azure web app.
Very related to this post, but I don't have the privilege to comment there, so I had to make a new post. Deploy simple Django VS2017 app with Azure error - server
I followed the Silencer tutorial and I am getting this error from \ LogFiles \ wfastcgi.log:

I have installed python360x64 as an extension in azure portal, I use this https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/examples/AzureResourceViewer/ptvs_virtualenv_proxy.py And my web.config:

The my / env / python version is python360x64. Any help is appreciated!

I am getting the same errors in python 3.4. For python 2.7, there is an activated_this.py script that might help in some way.
Just put activ_this.py from python 2.7 virtual environment into a folder. \ env \ Scripts and change the path in web.config to point to activate_this.py.
Seems to have worked. I'm just not sure which version of python I'm using now as 2.7 is still present on the system.

I had the same problem and finally got it fixed by changing this line in app config:
<add key="WSGI_HANDLER" value="ptvs_virtualenv_proxy.get_virtualenv_handler()" />
:
<add key="WSGI_HANDLER" value="myProject.wsgi.application" />
myProject is the name of my django project, so you must provide the name of your project.
