I'm trying to setup an apache http server with mod_wsgi on a windows machine, but when I start the service, it fails to launch.

In the Windows Event Log I get the following message:

The Apache2 service terminated with the following service-specific error: 
Incorrect function.

In running a Windows 8 - 64 bits machine, with

  • Apache 2.0.64 32 bits
  • Python 2.7.8 32 bits
  • mod_wsgi 3.5 32 bits

I looked around the web, but all the problem but everywhere says that it's a problem with the architecture of the software, but I already installed them all with the 32 bits version.

  • Why are you using such an ancient Apache version? It is unlikely there are downloadable binaries for mod_wsgi for Apache 2.0 around, so not sure where you sourced it from. Use binaries from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and the Apache version referenced from there. Use 64 bits for everything is preferred, so uninstall and start over. – Graham Dumpleton Aug 19 '14 at 22:49
  • I used 2.0 because someone had managed to install the environment with that version. Switched all to the most recent 64bits versions and it worked. – TiagoOliveira Aug 20 '14 at 09:03

Managed to solve the problem by installing all with 64 bits version.

I am running wampserver in a 64 bit version (wampserver64), and apache 2.4.9 in a 64 bit version as well (wampapache64), and I downloaded mod_wsgi-3.5.ap24.win-amd64-py2.7 from here (I had to use Firefox to download as Chrome refused for some odd reason).

Even though I did all this I still got an "incorrect function" when starting Apache.

The solution is to install Python in a 64 bit version (my python version was 32 bit) and then start the service.
