I installed Apache, Django, and mod_wsgi on Gentoo using emerge (on Amazon EC2).
I know that the mod_wsgi is configured in /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_wsgi.conf:
<IfDefine WSGI>
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
</IfDefine>
# vim: ts=4 filetype=apache
So in my /etc/conf.d/apache I added the WSGI module:
APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D WSGI"
But when I try to list the loaded module, mod_wsgi isn't listed.
root ~ # apache2 -M | grep wsgi
Syntax OK
I also know that mod_wsgi isn't loading properly because the Apache configuration file doesn't recognize WSGIScriptAlias.
By the way for Django to work I need to include a custom Apache configuration file. Where should I insert the line below?
Include "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/mysite/apache/apache_django_wsgi.conf"
I currently have that in the httpd.conf file but I feel like that file will get reseted whenever I upgrade Gentoo or related package.
EDIT: it seems the mod_wsgi file is located in /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so.
Here is my detailed Apache settings:
