Setup Mailman 3 using Apache/Mod_WSGI
Hi all,
I'm trying to setup Mailman 3 to run using apache. I've downloaded and installed mailman core, django, Postorius & Hyperkitty I'm using the mailman-suite django project from https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/tree/master <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/tree/master>. When I run the site using Django's development server everything works. However I've been unsuccessful in getting the site to run via apache w/ Mod_WSGI.
Note: I have a number of virtual hosts setup for various PHP sites and am trying to add the mailman install as another virtual host. I'm using MAMP for managing my website setup on my local machine.
The addition to the virtual hosts file is:
<VirtualHost *:80> #Mailman3 stuff ServerName mailman.local
Alias /static /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static"> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/wsgi.py
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project"> <Files wsgi.py> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Files> </Directory> </VirtualHost>
I also have the following in my https.conf.
WSGIPythonPath /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/
The 500 and related Errors I'm getting in Apache are:
[Thu Aug 03 14:18:55 2017] [info] mod_wsgi (pid=80044): Create interpreter 'mailman.local|'.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

All of the above looks OK to me.

I think this is unnecessary as long as python is getting run: it knows where to find itself. On the other hand, you need to tell WSGI where the Django project (mailman-suite_project?) lives. I use a different syntax:
WSGIDaemonProcess site python-path=/home/django/project user=django group=django display-name=django
where ~django/project is the Django project root, containing manage.py and site/, where site/ contains settings.py, wsgi.py, and all that stuff. So my guess is you need
WSGIPythonPath /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/
I'm not sure why that ended up in httpd.conf. WSGIDaemonProcess works fine for me in the VirtualHost stanza that configures Mailman.

And on the apache/MM3/mod_wsgi site I support, I have
WSGIDaemonProcess mailman-web display-name=mailman-web maximum-requests=1000 umask=0002 user=mailman group=mailman python-path=/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages home=/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/var
I also have
WSGIScriptAlias /mm3/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/bin/mailman-web.wsgi <Directory "/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/bin"> <Files mailman-web.wsgi> Order deny,allow Allow from all Require all granted </Files> WSGIProcessGroup mailman-web </Directory>
Which is essentially what the OP has with the addition of WSGIProcessGroup mailman-web

Hi Mark and Stephen,
Thanks for your examples. They helped me confirm that I needed to look into a different area than the Apache config. Ultimately I needed to use the extra code that is commented out in the wsqi.py file that is part of the mailman-suite Django project. Why I didn't realize this sooner? Chock it up to inexperience with python and trying the wrong combination of things at the wrong times.
Just for the sake of anyone else looking through the archives I was able to get away with just using the following in my virtual hosts file. <VirtualHost *:80> #Mailman3 stuff ServerName mailman.local
Alias /static /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static"> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/wsgi.py <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project"> <Files wsgi.py> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Files> </Directory> </VirtualHost>
