Answer 1

Do the following.

Uninstall your system mod_wsgi package.

sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

Install mod_wsgi using pip, preferably into a Python virtual environment. Ensure pip is for the version of Python you want to use.

pip install mod_wsgi

Display the config to add to Apache configuration file to load this mod_wsgi by running:

mod_wsgi-express module-config

Take the output of above command to display config and add to Apache configuration.

Add configuration to Apache to load a hello world WSGI application to test it works.
