Django mod_wsgi Apache Server, ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named Django-CodePudding

I read ton of articles, but still can't figure out what I'm missing. I'm running a django website from virtualenv. Here's my config file. The website address is replaced by <domain.com>, can't use that here.

Config

<VirtualHost *:80>
    
        ServerAdmin sidharth@collaboration-management
        ServerName <domain.com>
        ServerAlias <domain.com>
        DocumentRoot /home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcweb

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        Alias /static /home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcweb/static

        <Directory /home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcweb/static>

        WSGIDaemonProcess gmcweb python-home=/home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcwebenvlin python-path=/home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcweb
        WSGIProcessGroup gmcweb
        WSGIScriptAlias / /home/sidharth/Downloads/gmcweb/gmcweb/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>

Here's my WSGI.py file, didn't change anything never had to earlier

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'gmcweb.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

CodePudding user response：

If you get any problem like this and got multiple Python versions then that's the issue. I spawned a new VM with latest version of Python and only one version. It worked like a charm.

When we install Mod_WSGI it will be installed on the environment path by default.

CodePudding user response：

The error says that either you haven't got Django installed or didn't activate the virtual environment in which the Django was installed. Make sure that you check the list of installed packages and find Django in there, via:

$pip list
