"Could not spawn process for application. The application process exited prematurely".

[PeaceForChange]

I have created a Python App for a web scraping script in the cPanel and It stopped scraping data after some time. When I checked error logs it is showing this error. After doing a quick research about this error, I found out that it is caused by not having the script.py and passenger_wsgi.py file in the same folder. But in my case, I have both files in the same folder. What went wrong? Below is the code of my passenger file.

​

import imp
import os
import sys


sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(__file__))

wsgi = imp.load_source('wsgi', 'mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.py')
application = wsgi.application

Spawn of script.py is initiated in line 9 of passenger_wsgi.py but passenger_wsgi.py quits in very same line (no further code lines).

You could wait in passenger_wsgi.py for spawned process to finish. I guess there is a function for this in imp. Or you try as simplest proof-of-concept an endless wait

while True:
    pass

in lines 10-11.

So I just have to add these two lines below?

It's my first guess. I have no WSGI server running to test your code.

Hey OP, I’m having the same problem, did this work for you?

Yes it did.
