Apache Notice/Error For Django Website

For the last two months, I've been seeing this set of errors in my logs.

[core:notice] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND'
[mpm_prefork:notice] AH00173: SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart
[so:warn] AH01574: module wsgi_module is already loaded, skipping
[auth_digest:notice] AH01757: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[lbmethod_heartbeat:notice] AH02282: No slotmem from mod_heartmonitor
[mpm_prefork:notice] AH00163: Apache/2.4.23 (Amazon) mod_wsgi/3.5 Python/3.4.3 configured -- resuming normal

Once in a while, I'll also see this before the SIGHUP received line.

[cgi:error] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/cgi-bin/php

These set of notices/errors occur 1-3 times per day. I'm not very familiar with Apache, could anyone tell me what these messages mean and how I may fix the issue.

Some additional information: I'm running the website with Django 1.8 using AWS Elastic Beanstalk (Amazon Linux).

The message:

[so:warn] AH01574: module wsgi_module is already loaded, skipping

means you have LoadModule directive for wsgi_module appearing more than once in your Apache configuration files. Likely you have added it to a site file when it is already found in a configuration file related to the module.

The message:

[cgi:error] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/cgi-bin/php

means you likely have a global AddHandler, AddFilter or similar for mapping any request for a resource with .php extension to PHP. When done as a filter in particular, that can trigger for any request ending in .php even though you are only running a Django site. The requests for .php files will turn up as people are probing your site for PHP vulnerabilities. You should find the PHP configuration and comment it out.

No idea about mod_heartmonitor message but never seen it cause an issue.

Only other thing can see wrong is that you are using an ancient version of mod_wsgi. Version 3.5 is effectively a version from five years ago and is over 50 versions behind. You shouldn't use such an old version of mod_wsgi. It is not supported by anyone.
