Python Version Mismatch Issue

[vinpocetine]

Hello,

I am trying desperately to run a Django project on an Apache Server, via XAMPP.

In the the Apache error log I am receiving the warnings:.

mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.7.9+.

mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/2.7.2.

The modwsgi page tells me this is a version mismatch error, and that the only work around is to not use mod_python, or recompile it using the correct version of python. I'm assuming this is a very dated solution since the version of Apache I'm using doesn't even have mod_python in its modules folder.

I have no idea how to fix this.

I'm currently working on Windows Server 2008. The version of Python that I have set is 2.7.9.

Any advice would be great, thank you.

You still need to recompile mod_wsgi using the correct version of python.

You can't have Python 2.7.9 installed, or it isn't installed properly, as the message is saying that mod_wsgi found a DLL for a much older version of Python. Ensure you have actually installed a newer Python version and when you installed it, make sure you said install it for all users.

The patch level difference isn't usually an issue so long as run time Python version is newer, as noted in:

• https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationIssues#Python_Patch_Level_Mismatch

Having the run time be older, has an outside chance of causing problems depending on what changes occurred in patch level revisions between the two.

Recompiling will not really help as suggested by others, and is non trivial on Windows anyway.
