python32-mod_wsgi load errors

[Jason Garber]

This is on a clean, fresh install of Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.

On a fresh install of "python32-mod_wsgi-3.3-4.ius.el6.x86_64", I received this error on starting Apache:

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 91 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/python32-mod_wsgi.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/python31-mod_wsgi.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/python31-mod_wsgi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]

(Note the reference to python31 instead of python32)

When adjusting this to python32, another error is encountered:

[root@step nginx]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 91 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/python32-mod_wsgi.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/python32-mod_wsgi.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/python32-mod_wsgi.so: undefined symbol: PyCObject_FromVoidPtr
                                                           [FAILED]

It appears we might be in need for a code upgrade:

Here is an updated set of files which correct the described problems.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for that information, I'm going to test package for mod_wsgi 3.4.

The Changelog mentions support for Python 3.2:
   http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ChangesInVersion0304

I'll get back to you once I package and test this out.

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

Looks like the 3.4 sources resolves the issue. I'm going to get this in IUS testing for you here shortly.

# rpm -q python32-mod_wsgi
python32-mod_wsgi-3.4-1.ius.el6.x86_64

# service httpd stop
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]

# service httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]

Hello Jason,

I've got this build into IUS Testing:

  http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/testing/Redhat/6/x86_64/python32-mod_wsgi-3.4-1.ius.el6.x86_64.rpm

This release appears to resolve the issue you posted above.

Hey Jeff,

I just tested this and it worked great. Thanks for fixing it up.

Excellent! I'll be getting these python32 packages in the Stable repos here soon.

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

Thank you very much for helping with these packages Jason,
I've got them pushed to IUS Stable.
