[Python-modules-team] Bug#764465: libapache2-mod-wsgi: weird apache2 integration

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez]

Package: libapache2-mod-wsgi
Version: 3.3-4+deb7u1
Severity: minor

Hi,

I just installed libapache2-mod-wsgi to give support to a Python app in the webserver.

My workflow was:
 # aptitude install libapache2-mod-wsgi apache2 postgresql
 [...]
 # a2enmod wsgi
 ERROR: Module wsgi does not exist!

I checked that dpkg -L said some wsgi files should be at /etc/apache2/mods-available,
there aren't.

I tried reinstalling the package:
 # aptitude reinstall libapache2-mod-wsgi
 [...]
 # a2enmod wsgi
 ERROR: Module wsgi does not exist!


The files at /usr/lib/apache2/modules are there:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 may 23 08:25 mod_wsgi.so -> mod_wsgi.so-2.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185K may 23 08:25 mod_wsgi.so-2.6
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185K may 23 08:25 mod_wsgi.so-2.7

I had to purge & install the package again to get it working:
 # aptitude purge libapache2-mod-wsgi
 [...]
 # aptitude install libapache2-mod-wsgi
 [...]
 # a2enmod wsgi
 Module wsgi already enabled


So, the problem is fixed for me. But maybe other people is hitting the same
weird behaviour here.

regards.
