Are you using the system Apache and is it installed? Is the appropriate system ``mod_wsgi`` package installed? — Graham Dumpleton, Mar 07 '18 at 08:02
For such installation debugging request, please post all details you can: OS (Ok It's Ubuntu), Version ??, Architecture: ??, Harsware ??, Host purpose: Desktop or server? How did you install apache? Etc... (some more observation you could share about your specific case) — F. Hauri - Give Up GitHub, Sep 18 '20 at 05:55

I had the same problem with using Ubuntu 16.04 in AWS. However, installing apache2 along with libapache2-mod-wsgi and python-dev solved the issue.

Try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi python-dev

Then,

sudo a2enmod wsgi

After above steps , ```sudo systemctl reload apache2``` will be needed – Jay Teli Jun 08 '22 at 19:17

I share this tips because it append to me :

If you enter into the root account with su, the /usr/sbin folder is not in the path and the a2enmod command is not found...

So you have to use su - instead ;)

This can happen if you switch to root user as su root instead of su - on Debian Buster

Installation debugging

For asking about installation debugging, you have to post (and think) about

You could try to reinstall your package. If under Ubuntu, you could try:

sudo apt update &&
    sudo apt reinstall apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi

Then rerun:

sudo a2enmod wsgi
