No module named boto from
try:
application = get_wsgi_application()
except Exception as e:
print "err : {}".format(e)
but i have boto install :
# pip freeze | grep boto
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
boto==2.49.0
boto3==1.9.112
botocore==1.12.16
here are other files that i configured according to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/install/ :
# cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.load
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
# cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf
<IfModule mod_wsgi.c>
WSGIPassAuthorization on
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ubuntu/path/to/wsgi.py

Answer 1

It looks like you could be missing the site-packages directory in your WSGIPythonPath directive. I usually define the python path as part of the WSGIDaemonProcess directive:
WSGIDaemonProcess example \
display-name=example \
processes=2 threads=20 \
maximum-requests=10000 \
umask=0002 \
python-path=${SRV}/www:${SRV}/src:${SRV}/venv/prod_142/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
python-eggs=${SRV}/.python-eggs
WSGIScriptAlias / ${SRV}/www/example/wsgi.py \
process-group=example \
application-group=%{GLOBAL}
You can see a more full-featured virtualhost definition in the readme at https://github.com/datakortet/dkbuild-apacheconf (I'm the author).

Answer 2

the issue was that not all the python packages was installed , after installed all missing packages the website worked
