(Sorry, my English may be not fluent.)
I'm studying about Django, a module of Python, with Windows10, and have something to ask.
I've learned tutorial of official website of Django. Now I want to try using it with apache and mod-wsgi, but a command pip install mod-wsgi_httpd wasn't accepted. Here is what I've done or checked.
1. python3.6 works with no problem.
2. installed apache, and successed indicating default page on port 80 on localhost.
3. the command pip install mod_wsgi wasn't accepted, so I installed 'whl' file from https://www.ifd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mod_wsgi but I've not checked whether it works well because I've not installed mod-wsgi_httpd. The pip install mod_wsgi generated this error, which I couldn't deal with.(I extracted the latter part, because the log was too long.)

I'll the response of command prompt in the end of this question.

These are what I want to ask.
1. What should I do to install mod-wsgi_httpd?
2. What can I do with mod-wsgi_httpd? (the official website of Django tells me about mod-wsgi, but doesn't about mod-wsgi_httpd. The official website of Python tells me too, but it was too abstract for me.)
3. Some websites tell me that apache doesn't work without APR, but apache enabled me the default page without installing APR. Is this information wrong?

  • You can't use mod_wsgi-httpd on Windows and even on UNIX systems should only be used as a last resort where system Apache is broken. Commented Mar 17, 2018 at 11:35
  • The pip install mod_wsgi likely didn't work because you don't have Apache installed in location expected. It is impossible to tell though because you don't give errors for that. The problem also may be that you don't have MS C compiler installed, or not the correct version for Python version you are using. Commented Mar 17, 2018 at 11:37
  • @GrahamDumpleton Thanks for your comment. I set 'MOD_WSGI_APACHE_ROOTDIR', so I think the problem of Apache's location has already solved. I also installed Visual C++ and Visual Studio. Now I added a part of the errors for 'pip install mod_wsgi' to my question. If it is enough, could you tell me what to do in order to make 'pip install mod_wsgi' work, please?

  • I already told you, you cannot install mod_wsgi-httpd on Windows. You should only be attempting to install the mod_wsgi package. Commented Mar 19, 2018 at 19:56

Making sure WSGI is enabled is the first step here.

First make sure that you are loading the WSGI module in Apache. Find out where the other LoadModule lines are located and load it there. It should be in your Apache directory in conf\httpd.conf. Restart Apache and make sure the WSGI module is loaded by running httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES or apachectl -M.

Before getting Django connected, it's a good idea to make sure a test script loads. Check out the WSGI Quick Configuration Guide. You'll see some snippets.

  • The first snippet is a WSGI script that you should put somewhere that Apache can access (but not inside a Django directory).
  • Second and third scripts go inside your VirtualHost directive in your apache2 configuration files. See the fourth script for an example of a VirtualHost using WSGI. (You might want to set up another VirtualHost on a different port [not 80 or 8000] for this WSGI test script.)

After creating the script and configuring the apache2 VirtualHost, you should see the WSGI script say 'Hello World!'. If not, something was not installed properly. Check Apache's error logs.
