Why do I get error, Invalid command 'PythonHandler'?
- by nbolton
I'm trying to deploy a Django application, but I've hit a brick wall. On Debian (latest), I've run these commands so far:
apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-python python-django
I've tried adding the module manually in the Apache 2 config files, but to be honest I'm totally lost. It's totally different to Apache version 1 which I used years ago.
Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:
Invalid command 'PythonHandler', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
I've added the following to my sites-available/default file, between the tags.
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE hellodjango1.settings
PythonDebug Off
</Location>
Here's what tutorials I've used so far, without much luck:
Django | How to use Django with Apache and mod_python | Django Documentation
How To Install Django On Debian Etch (Apache2/mod_python)
