It's been a while but I am running into an issue and could not find any answers elsewhere.

I pay for a dedicated server that is running Easy Apache 4 with Centos 7. I have root access to everything so no limitations.

I am in the process of deploying a Python/Django app on the server for a client. When trying to install mod_wsgi it errors out stating it needs the package httpd-mmn. I can install the httpd module using yum but I am worried about conflicts since the server is using Easy Apache 4.

Is this a relevant concern? I have a bunch of php sites on my server and I am afraid I'll break it.

For the record, I do not want to use the experimental easy apache mod wsgi as it's, well...experimental and a use at your own risk situation.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be great.

mod_wsgi is often built for a specific version of apache. You are getting errors because your apache was installed by easyapache4.

I suggest you go with the experimental version for 2 reasons

  1. You really don't have much of an option, unless you want to build everything yourself from ground up.
  2. the ea-apache24-mod_wsgi has been available for install for at least 6 years now and I have searched thru the web and none has complained of errors or breaking things

If you (or anyone else) choose to go the experimental route, the process is

yum install ea4-experimental
yum install ea-apache24-mod_wsgi

Then modify the virtual host configs by creating directives and including these files

/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/{user}/{domain}/{includename}.conf

/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/{user}/{domain}/{includename}.conf (for SSL)

When done run this 3 commands to update the configs

/scripts/verify_vhost_includes

/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user={user}

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

Make sure to backup your httpd config before this step above

Finally restart your httpd and you should be good
