Rather than explain what you have done, can you explain what you want to do?
I can’t see any reason why you would want to do what it seems you are trying to do. > On 7 Oct 2016, at 10:37 PM, peter hoth <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Graham, > > 1.

Why are you trying to use the Apache configuration files generated by mod_wsgi-express with your XMPP Apache instance? That is not the purpose of mod_wsgi-express, it is a self contained system, it is not intended to be used to generate a configuration for a separate Apache installation. > a.

Please go back and explain what you are wanting to do, rather than describe what you think is the solution. Do you actually have a Python web application you want to run?
