Move a flask server to production with mod_wsgi

I followed this tutorial. Here is my server:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

When running

python server.py
curl 127.0.0.1:5000

I get the expected result.

Now I add a test.wsgi:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/var/www/test')
from server import app as application

and in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/test.config:

<VirtualHost *:5000>
ServerName example.com

WSGIDaemonProcess test user=user1 group=user1 threads=5
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/test/test.wsgi

<Directory /var/www/test>
    WSGIProcessGroup test
    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now calling

sudo service apache2 restart
curl 127.0.0.1:5000

will return an error. What did I do wrong?

As Daniel Roseman pointed out, I needed to

  1. Remove the ServerName directive
  2. Add Listen 5000 to my /etc/apache2/apache.conf to make the server listen on port 5000
