How to use Django with Apache? - django

Question

Can someone help me and say whats wrong?
I need to use Django + Apache.
When I try to start Apache it shows me error: The requested operation has failed.
I tried to change Listen 80 to different values but it didnt help. Also this error appears after adding next settings to httpd.conf file (without these settings Apache start fine):
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I use:
1) Apache 2.4 (x64)
2) Python 3.5.2 (x64)
3) Django 1.10.5
4) mod_wsgi‑4.5.15+ap24vc14‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
5) Windows 8.1 (x64)
Maybe I use wrong mod_wsgi? I take mod_wsgi.cp35-win_amd64.pyd file from mod_wsgi‑4.5.15+ap24vc14‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl archive and rename that file to mod_wsgi.so. After that put that file to modules folder of Apache.
error.log file looks like this:

The method Graham Dumpleton mentions is the way that worked for me, I was lucky enough to come across this item: modwgsi Google Group again by Graham.
Install mod_wsgi using pip (preferably into a virtualenv)
Run mod_wsgi-express module-config to get the settings to copy into your httpd.conf file, I chose to copy these above the LoadModules list.
Don't look to move and rename the .pyd file, leave it alone. To test, create a helloworld.wsgi with the following content:
def application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = b'Hello World!'
response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)
return [output]
In your VirtualHost, create a WSGIScriptAlias pointing to the wsgi file created, e.g. WSGIScriptAlias /test C:/wsgitest/helloworld.wsgi
