Would likely put you in a worse position as they absolve themselves from telling you anything about how to set it up properly.
So more than likely you would end up with something worse than what they had for other reasons. Their default configuration for their installer avoids various issues, but using old httpd and mod_wsgi as they do is a big issue. What they should have done in your case was at least say to start with the Apache configuration you had from the initial setup. You would also need to swap crontab entries over as will explain later. Using mod_wsgi-express you will at least get an Apache configuration generated automatically which is tailored for running a Python web application using mod_wsgi. I have only just come online for the evening. I will start describing next steps in subsequent email.
