apache doesn't start with the provided configuration

[Muelli]

I am trying to get cobbler running.

First of all, it's annoying that it tries to connect to 192.168.15.220 which fails without telling me what IP address it tried to connect.

After installing cobbler I expected to be able to use it. So after I fixed to above mentioned IP to my currently assigned IP address, it still fails, because apache didn't start.
Firstly, the config wasn't put into the right place, i.e. /etc/apache/sites-available, so I manually symlinked it. After enabling and restarting, apache still didn't start.

The error.log complained about mod_python *and* mod_wsgi being enabled.

[Thu Apr 14 17:47:19.500229 2016] [wsgi:crit] [pid 2882:tid 139916275877760] mod_wsgi (pid=2882): The mod_python module can not be used on conjunction with mod_wsgi 4.0+. Remove the mod_python module from the Apache configuration.

after a2dismod python and systemctl restart apache2 it seems to work better.

It works better after removing mod_python, but Cobbler needs it and therefore it does not work (looking at the cobbler_web page, one get an error)

Please try the SRU test build on my PPA at: https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/cobbler/

I don't think it's worth trying to fix old unmaintained code, and will push for an SRU of a newer version (as in that PPA) for 16.04.
