Can you do the following for me to test what Apache does?
Run your 'mod_wsgi-express start-server' command with the '--setup-only' option
added.
Edit the 'httpd.conf' generated and add single quotes around values for User
and Group.
That is:
User '${MOD_WSGI_USER}'
Group '${MOD_WSGI_GROUP}'
Then run:
./apachectl start
using the 'apachectl' script in the same directory as the generated httpd.conf
file.
I just want to check that Apache and your OS aren't going to die when given a
group name with spaces in it for other reasons.
When done, run:
./apachectl stop
