Cannot open shared object file when restarting httpd

Question

$ /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Starting httpd: httpd: 
Syntax error on line 205 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: 
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so into server: 
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so: cannot open shared object file: 
No such file or directory

file: httpd.conf

..
205: LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

Any ideas in how can I correct this error or how to share the file: mod_wsgi.so, in order to be loaded and used by apache?

This may be for the following problems #

Your copy of mod_wsgi is compiler against a different version of python than what you have.
Your copy of libpython shared object file isn't in apache's library path

It is unlikely to be either. The error suggests that the mod_wsgi.so file simply does not exist. – Graham Dumpleton Aug 24 '12 at 02:48

The error says that:

/etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

does not exist.

Run:

ls -las /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

to prove whether it does or does not. If it doesn't then install mod_wsgi.

If it does exist, then validate if version of Python it is compiled against exists and/or is findable.
