how to run moin with apache2 and mod-wsgi on debian 11

[3kgmett]

Hi all,
Hopefully I can safe somebodies time. Debian 11 includes WSGI only for Python 3 - "libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3". To get moin1.9.11 running together with Apache I compiled mod_wsgi-4.9.4 by hand.

Download: https://pypi.org/project/mod-wsgi/#files

Install the following packages to get mod-wsgi compiled:

• apache2-dev for apxs, otherwise mod-wsgi -> setup.py cannot run.
• python-dev-is-python2, is needed so that setup.py can find Python.h.
  sudo apt-get install apache2-dev python-dev-is-python2

Goto folder where mod_wsgi is unpacked

tar xvzf mod_wsgi-4.9.4
cd mod_wsgi-4.9.4/
./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7
python2.7 setup.py install --force --prefix=/usr/local --record=install.log

Compile the Apache module in the same folder and restart apache:

make install
a2enmod wsgi
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Proof is mod_wsgi is active:
apache2ctl -M

Have fun...

Hello,

I'm running the MoinMoin-Wikiserver under Apache2 with mod_wsgi-I/F for over 10 years now locally in my network (Port :8080) under Kubuntu 16.04 on a used (c)Lenovo-Laptop (T500).
Now, that I tried to build up a second Wiki resource (Backup) on another Laptop with a fresh Kubuntu Installation I had trouble to run the setup.py because of the python3-issue.

Running the above command-sequence i get the following error:

muelux@LT74A-T410:~/Software/moin-1.9.11$ sudo apt-get install apache2-dev python-dev-is-python2

Paket python-dev-is-python2 ist nicht verfügbar, wird aber von einem anderen Paket
referenziert. Das kann heißen, dass das Paket fehlt, dass es abgelöst
wurde oder nur aus einer anderen Quelle verfügbar ist.
Doch die folgenden Pakete ersetzen es:
  python-is-python3 python-dev-is-python3

E: Für Paket »python-dev-is-python2« existiert kein Installationskandidat.

Could someone give me an advice, how to work-around this issue?

Thanks in advance
