Why does Apache with mod_wsgi force a download of .py files instead of executing them?
I'm trying to run Django, but the first issue I have is .py files not executing.
I'm following the docs here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/
- I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
- libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 installed and enabled
apachectl configtest Syntax OK- All files chowned to
www-data:www-data
- .py files are
chmod +x
/var/log/apache2/access.log is empty
/var/log/apache2/error.log contains:
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) mod_fcgid/2.3.9 OpenSSL/1.1.1k mod_wsgi/4.6.8
Python/3.8 configured -- resuming normal operations
The .htaccess file at root has
RewriteEngine on
ServerSignature Off
Directory of /var/www/html/example.com/public_html is this:
This is what I see; clicking on a .py file forces it to download.
