How to install mod_wsgi for apache 2.4 and python 3.4 on windows?

I had apache 2.4 already installed with xampp.I tried adding mod_wsgi using the steps mentioned here

But when I add the line 

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi-py34-vc10.so

Apache does not start.

It is better to build mod_wsgi yourself from code rather than use an arbitrary binary off the net. The steps are as follows.

  • Ensure you have a decent Apache installation which includes header files, e.g. Apache 2.4.37 Win64 from Apache Lounge . Preferably installed at location of C:/Apache24.

  • Ensure your Python installation is set up so that you can pip install modules. This must include having the correct Microsoft C compiler needed by that Python version.

  • Run pip install mod_wsgi. If your Apache installation is not at C:/Apache24, then first set the environment variable MOD_WSGI_APACHE_ROOTDIR to its location. Ensure you specify path as C:/Apache24 form and not with back slashes, that is, not as C:\Apache24. This is only needed when doing the install, not later.

  • Run mod_wsgi-express module-config.

  • Copy the output from runing mod_wsgi-express module-config into your Apache configuration file.

  • Add configuration for a WSGI application to the Apache configuration.

  • Restart Apache and see if it works.

Note that you are better off starting with a WSGI hello world rather than some huge Django application when initially testing.

I am using a 64 bit operating system and have 64 bit python installed.

installing apache distribution for 64 bit OS from apachelounge https://www.apachelounge.com/download/ resolved the problem for me.

Use the release of Apache Lounge , if you still find c:\apache24\include\apr_network_io.h(29) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'apr_perms_set.h': No such file or directory'. . This is best fit to Windows.

@LarryMartell I met the same issue on windows and fixed it. You can try to copy file apr_perms_set.h from apr repository (https://github.com/traviscross/apr) to Apache2.4's include folder.

This topic is useful for Windows 10, xampp webserver as well.
I was struggling to find precompiled mod_wsgi.so for 
Apache/2.4.27 (Win32) 
Python/2.7.13 
This [link][1] is useful to find the appropriate version of mod_wsgi.
IF you are lucky, you can find the precompiled version [here][2]
There is a step by step guidance available [here][3]
