Flask server running on EC2 Ubuntu cannot find the python packages-CodePudding

I am running a flask server using AWS EC2 with Apache. The issue is that the flask server doesn't recognize where the python package is.

Python packages are located at '/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/'

Below is the /var/www/html/flaskapp/flaskapp.py

    import numpy as np
        
    from flask import Flask, jsonify
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    @app.route('/')
    def hello_world():

            return jsonify("Hello From Flask")
    
    @app.route('/countme/<input_str>')
    def count_me(input_str, methods = ['GET']):
            return jsonify(input_str)
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
            app.run()

When I try to access to my server, I get this error

    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

Below is 'flaskapp.wsgi'

    import sys
    import site
    
    sys.path.insert(0, '/var/www/html/flaskapp')
    
    from flaskapp import app as application

Below is '/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf'

    <VirtualHost *:80>
            # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
            # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
            # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
            # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
            # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
            # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
            # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

            # modules, e.g.
            #LogLevel info ssl:warn
    
            ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
            CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    
            # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
            # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
            # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
            # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
            # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
            #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
    </VirtualHost>
    
    # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

Can anyone let me know what should I do for the flaskapp to find where the packages are?

CodePudding user response：

You need to do the following:

Install mod-wsgi for python3

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

This will replace libapache2-mod-wsgi and will restart the apache service.

Add your python package path to the script located at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

WSGIPythonHome "/usr/local/bin"
WSGIPythonPath "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages"
