Hi,
I am trying to setup MOD_WSGI on my Ubuntu box. I have found steps that said I needed to do the following steps I found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833766
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
sudo a2enmod mod-wsgi
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and update the Directory
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler wsgi-script .wsgi
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Created test.wsgi with
def application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = 'Hello World!'
response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)
return [output]
Step 2 fails because it says it can't find mod-wsgi even though the apt-get found it. If I carry on with the steps the python app just shows as plain text in a browser.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Description: Python WSGI adapter module for Apache
The mod_wsgi adapter is an Apache module that provides a WSGI (Web Server
Gateway Interface, a standard interface between web server software and
web applications written in Python) compliant interface for hosting Python
based web applications within Apache. The adapter provides significantly
better performance than using existing WSGI
adapters for mod_python or CGI.
