Discussion on: Flask Deploy with Apache on CentOS - Minimal Setup

[David Link]

Hi Sm0ke, Thank you for this great article. It is very helpful and well written.

I noticed what I believe is one small typo. Where it says "app/init.py file contents" I believe it should say "app/init.py file contents", and that is probably a Markdown issue.

Were you able to resolve @williamium3000 's issues regarding setting the python interpreter? I'm trying to get this to work with pyenv (pyenv install 3.9.5), but can't get mod_wsgi to see my locally installed interpreter in my venv, even if I put it in the she-bang

#!/data/apps/hitme/.venv/bin/python

import os
import sys

def application(environ, start_response):
    status = '200 OK'
    output = bytes(getEnv(), 'utf-8')
    response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
                        ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
    start_response(status, response_headers)
    return [output]

def getEnv():
    keys = list(os.environ.keys())
    keys.sort()
    o = ''
    o += "OS Environment\n"
    o += 'Python Version: %s\n' % sys.version
    o += 'Python prefix: %s\n' % sys.prefix
    for k in keys:
        v = os.environ[k]
        o += ("  %s: %s\n" % (k, v))
    return o

Reports:

3.6.8 is the OS's python version. Thanks for your help

Hello @dlink ,

Indeed the app/\_\_init\_\_.py cannot be formatted being styled automatically by the Markdown parser.

Regarding the Python version, try to force the PATH update in wsgi.py as below

site.addsitedir('/data/apps/hitme/.venv/..../site-packages')
sys.path.insert(0, '/data/apps/hitme/')

P.S. adapt the paths to be resolved properly.
Let me know the results.
