Installing Mod-wsgi 3.3 for apache 2.2 and python 3.2
- by aaronasterling
I am attempting to install Mod-wsgi 3.3 on an ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition with apache 2.2 and python 3.2
I downloaded the source tarball and extracted it. I configured it using the --with-python=/usr/bin/python3 option to configure. This is the only copy of python3 that I have installed.
I then issued the commands make and sudo make install.
I attempted to restart apache using sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and get the following error message:
apache2: Syntax error on line 203 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1
of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules
/mod_wsgi.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so: undefined symbol:
PyCObject_FromVoidPtr
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
...fail!
The error logs only inform us that it's a segfault: `
I checked to make sure that it's linked against the right python library with ldd mod_wsgi.so and got the output

It seems to be linking against the python3 library so I'm not sure what the issue is. I have read on another question that mod-python can present problems however it was never installed.
I saw that the directive WSGIPythonHome can be used to point to the correct python version and created a directory /usr/bin/apache2-python/ with a link named python and python3(the name I passed to the configure script) to /usr/bin/python3 This results in the same error. So I'm pretty sure it's using the correct version of python.
I am now at a loss.
Thanks in advance for any help.
update
Using the version from the repository I get the following log when I attempt to request a page:
[Wed Mar 21 13:21:11 2012] [notice] child pid 5567 exit signal Aborted (6)
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
[Wed Mar 21 13:21:13 2012] [notice] child pid 5568 exit signal Aborted (6)
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
[Wed Mar 21 13:21:14 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
If I comment out the instruction to load mod-wsgi, the page serves normally.
