I am trying to install Flask on my CentOS 7.9.2009 VM running Apache HTTP Server. I've installed Python3.8 and mod_wsgi but when I attempt to start Apache I get the below Permissioned denied when loading the mod_wsgi. I've checked multiple blogs and forums and cannot find a resolution. Any idea why I am getting this error?
Error: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
httpd: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/02-wsgi.conf: Cannot load /home/myuser/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py38.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so into server: /home/myuser/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py38.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
I installed python3.8 from source using ./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib" but I am still getting the above permission denied error.
Below is how my app.conf file looks like and also output of mod_wsgi module-config.
app.conf:
LoadModule wsgi_module "/home/myuser/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py38.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
mod_wsgi module-config:
[myuser@mycentos conf.d]$ mod_wsgi-express module-config
LoadModule wsgi_module "/home/myuser/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py38.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so"
WSGIPythonHome "/usr/local"
I get the error when I try to start Apache - sudo systemctl start httpd.
