mac os + apache 2.4.33 + python 3.7.2 + django 2.1.5 + mod_wsgi 4.6.5 (Site can't be reached)

I am facing issue in running the server(Site can’t be reached) after python upgrade from 2.x to 3.7.2
Our server config:

  • Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra)
  • Apache 2.4.33 custom installation
  • Python 3.7.2 (Brew install python3)
  • Django 2.1.5 (Installed via pip inside python 3 env)
  • mod_wsgi 4.6.5 (Installed via pip inside python 3 env)

I have added the following two lines(mod_wsgi-express module-config) in httpd.conf file removing the python 2.7 references:


LoadModule wsgi_module "/../MASP_ENV3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py37.cpython-37m-darwin.so"
 
WSGIPythonHome "/../MASP_ENV3"


Also in httpd-vhosts.conf:
 

WSGIDaemonProcess mysite.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-home=/Library/WebServer/Documents/MASP_ENV3 python-path=/Library/WebServer/Documents/mysite

WSGIProcessGroup mysite.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /Library/WebServer/Documents/mysite/wsgi.py

After restarting the server, when we hit the URL in the browser the page continues to load for a while(2-5 mins) and later displays “Site can’t be reached”

It would be great if one can guide me with valuable suggestions. Thanks!

    The problem was the virtual env not created in the python3 system installation directory. I fixed the issue by following this doc:
    * https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/virtual-environments.html#location-of-the-virtual-environment

    Also, my detailed conversation with mod_wsgi author is here: https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/issues/396

    what is being reported in the apache error log?

    Can you add the param request-timeout to WSGIDaemonProcess and set it to something low, say 30 seconds? after such a change do you get “Site not reached” in about 30 seconds or does it still take 2-5 mins?

    Is the wsgi configuered to write logs anywhere? Can you see the request reaching the python app?

    Sorry for writing the questions as an answer but I still dont have the needed level to add comments.
