Apache2.2:ImportError: No Module Named Site

Apache2 error.log: [Thu Dec 17 18:58:33 2015] [warn] mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.7.2+. [Thu Dec 17 18:58:33 2015] [warn] mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/2.7.3. [Thu Dec 17 18:58

Solution 1:

For ones that step on this question (like me) because you are facing a problem with endless:

ImportError: No module named site

in apache's error.log (/var/log/apache2/error.log)

most probably you have WSGIPythonHome pointing to some other (presumably) python location. Default setting IS:

WSGIPythonHome /usr

And what people forget to mention is where this supposed to be it is in:

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf

this file usually starts with:

<IfModule mod_wsgi.c>

    #This config file is provided to give an overview of the directives,
    #which are only allowed in the 'server config' context.
    #For a detailed description of all avaiable directives please read
    #http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives

Somewhere there you put:

WSGIPythonHome /usr

or

WSGIPythonHome /usr/local

or (the best option) remove or comment this setting because /usr suppose to be default setting and use built in python.

or

change, mess up or fix what ever you have messed up with wsgi configuration (like I do when I try to make something work or break and do not know enough ;) )
