Thanks for your reply, Graham. Mostly it encouraged me to keep trying! :-) Briefly: I got mod_python working by running apache2 in 32-bit mode - details below. I didn't mention that I had also struggled a lot with mod_wsgi. I tried it again after your suggestion, and I tried many combinations, but I could not get past having one of the two problems: - LONG_BIT definition appears wrong [at compile time] - no suitable image found [at runtime] Anyway, I finally found some advice here (thx mjtnix) http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnMacOSX The suggestion being that there was a way to run apache in 32 bit mode, and thus avoid these 64-bit issues. - Since I already built mysql for 32 bit, and due to my situation, this is acceptable for me mjtnix's suggestion was: I was able to force apache on leopard to run in 32-bit mode as follows. in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/org.apache.httpd.plist add these three arguments the start of the <ProgramArguments> array: <string>/usr/bin/arch</string> <string>-arch</string> <string>i386</ string> the resulting apache command line looks like this: /usr/bin/arch -arch i386 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND ----------------------- end mjtnix suggestion ---------------- After doing that. - I first made sure apache would run without mod_python. - At first it would not. - I adjusted the suggestion to my platform, ie change i386 to ppc (duh) - That worked. - Then added in mod_python, and it worked!! :-) - jcd On Jan 23, 2009, at 8:05 AM, Graham Dumpleton wrote: > If you are trying to run a Python web application or framework which > supports WSGI, such as Django or Trac, use mod_wsgi instead and you > may find things simpler. > > If not, then try mod_python from subversion repository instead as that > definitely has correct flags. > > svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk > mod_python-trunk > > Graham > > 2009/1/23 James Dean <james_dean at comcast.net>: >> Hello, >> I have looked through many emails on this subject, and tried the >> suggestions, but I still can't get mod_python loaded into Apache2 >> in OS/X >> Leopard. >> >> I am trying to start up apache2, with mod_python, and I am getting >> this >> error: >> >> ======================= Here is the error: ======================= >> >> c-24-61-41-158:apache2 root# httpd -t >> httpd: Syntax error on line 124 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: >> Can't >> locate API module structure `python_module' in file >> /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so: dlsym(0x1002091e0, >> python_module): >> symbol not found |
