I am trying to host a django application on Apache server using XAMPP and after going through all the settings necessary for the app to run, the webpage in ‘localhost’ is loading endlessly, enter image description here
Here’s my setup:
Running on venv, doing a pip freeze gives:
`asgiref==3.7.2
Django==3.2.20
mod-wsgi==4.9.4
mysqlclient==2.2.0
numpy==1.25.2
pandas==1.5.1
python-dateutil==2.8.2
pytz==2023.3
six==1.16.0
sqlparse==0.4.4
typing_extensions==4.7.1`
Django App is in C:\xampp\htdocs\virtual_dealer\virtual_dealer
Directory Structure:
`C:\xampp\htdocs\virtual_dealer
|--base -> app
|--venv -> virtual environment
|--virtual_dealer -> python project
|--static -> static folder for the app
|--templates -> templates folder for the app`
Also placed MOD_WSGI_APACHE_ROOTDIR in the environment variables to be able to do a successful pip install mod_wsgi
As for the httpd.conf, here’s my setting for WSGI:
`LoadFile "C:/Users/Jaya Rathina/anaconda3/python39.dll"
LoadModule wsgi_module "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/venv/lib/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi.cp39-win_amd64.pyd"
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/virtual_dealer/wsgi.py"
WSGIPythonHome "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/venv"
WSGIPythonPath "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer"
Alias /static/ C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/static/
<Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/static/>
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/virtual_dealer">
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>`
And settings in httpd-vhosts.conf,
`<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer"
</VirtualHost>`
with this,I dont see any errors in apache error logs:

That screen is saying that your browser can’t even connect to the apache server.
Verify that apache is up and running, listening on port 80, and that you don’t have something like Windows firewall blocking it.
Check your system event log for any indication of errors there.
There was no issue with windows firewall. When i checked line by line, i noticed that the error was with this line "WSGIScriptAlias / “C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/virtual_dealer/wsgi.py”. When the httpd.conf was, LoadFile “C:/Users/Jaya Rathina/anaconda3/python39.dll”
LoadModule wsgi_module “C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/venv/lib/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi.cp39-win_amd64.pyd”
I am able to connect to apache server.
And when i check the apache error logs, it says,
mod_wsgi (pid=17452): Failed to exec Python script file ‘C:/xampp/htdocs/virtual_dealer/virtual_dealer/wsgi.py’.
