Stories similar to mod_wsgi/python out of sync and failing after "yum update"

I have just installed python2.6 and mod_wsgi on my MediaTemple CentOS5.8 server. I had to install python2.6 along side the default python version of 2.4. I then compiled mod_wsgi telling it to use python2.6.

I have an Arch Linux server that used to use Python 2.7.3 just fine with Apache and mod_wsgi-3.4-2. I have both Python 2.7.3 and 3.3.0 installed on the server, and both executables are located in /usr/bin. Recently it has started to use Python 3. I need Apache to go back to using Python 2.7.

I am trying to install Python 3.2 and mod_wsgi on my web server, but I am not having much luck.

The following is what appears in my error_log:

[Sat Nov 17 23:13:14 2012] [warn] mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.7.3. [Sat Nov 17 23:13:14 2012] [warn] mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/2.7.2.

If I check my $PATH variable and even in /etc/paths, /usr/local/bin (which contains Python 2.7.3) comes before /usr/bin (which contains Python 2.7.2).

Is there some other path that I'm missing out on?

I have many local virtual machines for building the django websites.

I'm working on setting up Trac to use wsgi, and am running into trouble getting mod_wsgi working. I downloaded and installed mod_sgi.

Running Django on CentOS? 1 year 18 weeks ago

I have a problem running Django with mod_wsgi and Apache on CentOS.

Django runs on Python 2.5 or above but CentOS comes with Python 2.4. I can't just upgrade the default Python 2.4 because it breaks other services such as yum. I installed Python 2.7 into different directory.

I followed most of the tutorial and article about running Django with mod_wsgi but never able successfully run it.

I am building a web app using Python 2.7, its bottle micro framework, and apache (via mod_wsgi). This app has some RESTish endpoints, one of which results in a connection error in the browser (Firefox shows "The connection was reset" while Opera shows "Connection closed by remote server").

Apache 2.2.3 is running as an existing web server under RHEL 5. Attempting to set up Trac using wsgi_module.

RHEL 5 ships with python 2.4, so in order to use the current version of Trac (1.0) I needed to install it with easy_install-2.6.

Trac works with the default mod_python, however users strongly encourage not using this module as it is officially dead.
