uwsgi and apache2 issue - apache

Question

I'm having trouble with setting up uwsgi behind apache2.
Here's my system:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
$ apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.20 (Ubuntu)
$ uwsgi --version
2.0.14
$ cat /etc/init/uwsgi.conf
description "uWSGI Emperor"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec /usr/local/bin/uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/vassals/ --logto /var/log/uwsgi.log
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
With
$ cat ~/myapp/wsgi.py
def application(environ, start_response):
start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/html')])
return ["<h1 style='color:blue'>Hello There!</h1>"]
and
$ cd ~/myapp
$ uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:8081 --protocol=http -w wsgi
i can browse to http://example.com:8081 and see the "Hello there!" test page. So, I'm assuming uwsgi is working correctly. However, I want to put uwsgi behind apache2, but whenenver I try
$ a2enmod uwsgi
and restart apache2 I get an error that I can't make sense of:
$ service apache2 restart
* Restarting Apache httpd web server apache2 [fail]
* The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
apache2: Syntax error on line 140 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/uwsgi.load:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_uwsgi.so into server:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_uwsgi.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
Can anyone help me with this? I have searched for hours but I can't find aynthing that helped me with this..
Thank you very much in advance.
PS: Oh, and I couldn't find any relevant information in the apache error logs.

Answer 1

In case anyone is interested, here's how i got it to work:
Instead of using the uwsgi_mod, i simply proxied everything in my apache configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8081/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8081/
</VirtualHost>
The uwsgi command would run with uwsgi --ini uwsgi.ini where uwsgi.ini would contain the following lines
[uwsgi]
chdir = path/to/my/project
http-socket = :8081
module = wsgi:application
...
That way i don't need to run the uwsgi_mod and everything works. Hopefully that helps anyone, someday.
