how to run moin with apache2 and mod-wsgi on debian 11

[3kgmett]

Hi all,
Hopefully I can safe somebodies time. Debian 11 includes WSGI only for Python 3 - "libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3". To get moin1.9.11 running together with Apache I compiled mod_wsgi-4.9.4 by hand.

Download: https://pypi.org/project/mod-wsgi/#files

Install the following packages to get mod-wsgi compiled:

• apache2-dev for apxs, otherwise mod-wsgi -> setup.py cannot run.
• python-dev-is-python2, is needed so that setup.py can find Python.h.
  sudo apt-get install apache2-dev python-dev-is-python2

Goto folder where mod_wsgi is unpacked

tar xvzf mod_wsgi-4.9.4
cd mod_wsgi-4.9.4/
./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7
python2.7 setup.py install --force --prefix=/usr/local --record=install.log

Compile the Apache module in the same folder and restart apache:

make install
a2enmod wsgi
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Proof is mod_wsgi is active:
apache2ctl -M

Have fun...
