Apache ImportError: No module named _socket in wsgi deployment on Django
apache2.2, django, mod-wsgi, python
Solution
Although reinstalling python might have worked. I figured out that _socket was a _socket.pyd file located in the DLLs folder, by adding that to my pythonpath in windows I was able to make my application work. Thank you for everyone's help.
Problem
I am using WSGI 3.3 for Python 2.7.3 (32bit) for Apache 2.2. I downloaded the wsgi from http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/downloads/detail?name=mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py27-3.3.so and just renamed it and transferred it to the APACHE modules. I have been trying to deploy an application but keep on receiving the `ImportError: no module named _socket`. I have included my wsgi and error logs. I am not sure as to what I am doing wrong. I thought maybe I could include a PythonPath but am not sure. I can try to provide more information if needed. Thank you in advance.
