I am attempting to put WSGI (python) on a WAMP server (Apache 2.2.21, Python 2.7, WAMP 2.2a). Unfortunately, when i add just a simple directory directive and restart, Apache won't start. here is the code:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

<Directory “C:/wamp/www/python”>
#Options ExecCGI
#AddHandler wsgi-script .py
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
</Directory>

If I comment out the directory tags, like this:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

#<Directory “C:/wamp/www/python”>
#Options ExecCGI
#AddHandler wsgi-script .py
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
#</Directory>

It starts. Why won't this work (it also doesn't work with everything uncommented)? I followed all of the directions on this tutorial. Other than the changes in the code snippets, I have changed nothing in httpd.conf, other than including the file that contains the code snippet. I did that with:

Include conf/extra/changes.conf

on the very last line.

Don't write your configs in MS Word or Wordpad; your quotes are broken.

Change:

<Directory “C:/wamp/www/python”>

to:

<Directory "C:/wamp/www/python">

There's also a space in your AddHandler filename, you'll want to fix that too in order to get the whole thing working.

  • @invisiblebob Oh, it's actually wrong in the tutorial that you linked - that would be the issue, not the text editor that you used. I guess the author made that mistake, instead! – Shane Madden Nov 18 '11 at 22:27
