Flask - WSGI - No module named 'flask'

Question

I\'ve been following Sentdex\' Flask tutorial. He\'s using a Venv to set up his Flask, but didn\'t set his Python up to work with a Venv. I\'ve tried installing Flask globally -

Answer 1

First install python-virtualenv

Then from the Flask app directory where you put the wigs python files run

virtualenv env

This will create env directory inside the Flask directory and contains the local python installation.

Next activate the virtual environment by this command source env/bin/activate

After activating the virtual environment run pip install flask

Run pip --version

You will see something like this

pip 19.0.3 from /var/www/html/flaskapp/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

Copy this python path

 WSGIDaemonProcess FlaskApp python-path=/var/www/html/flaskapp:/var/www/html/flaskapp/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup FlaskApp

Add above lines in FlaskApp.conf in sites-available directory of apache

Note put python-path what you get after running pip --version
