"A very simple WSGI application, and the one which should be used for the examples in this document, is as follows:"
That excerpt from the guide really highlights my confusion. Why would I make a WSGI application? I have a Flask application and I didn't think WSGI was for making applications. I thought WSGI was for serving existing applications.

Does the WSGI stand alone as a server without Apache or nginx? Is mod_WSGI a server? Or does it act as a go-between between the app and the server?I keep reading and watching videos and the answer to that question doesn't seem clear.

Maybe the answer to this question would tell me what I need to know. https://www.modwsgi.org/en/develop/user-guides/quick-configuration-guide.html If I get that simple Hello World application working, then I want to replace the Hello World application with my application, where do my app files go?? Do I put all the files there in the recommended directory and rename my 'main.py' file 'main.wsgi'? What is .wsgi? It looks like Python, so why isn't it .py like all the other Python? I'm sorry I really don't ask questions that much. Most answers are already available and I'm sure mine is too, but in this case I don't really even know *which question is my question *if that makes sense.

What mod_wsgi configuration have you used and where in the Apache configuration did you put it? What other Linux distro specific steps did you do to enable Apache and trigger it to restart or reload the configuration? The reason the documentation doesn’t give exact steps is because how you need to do things with Apache is different for different Linux distros. It isn’t really practical to try and main docs for every Linux distro, macOS , Windows and other Unix variants.So it is assumed you have checked the Apache documentation for your operating system first to learn where you need to put any configuration and what extra steps you may need to run to enable it and/or restart Apache. If you indicate what operating system you are using, what Apache package distribution package is being used or how you otherwise installed Apache, and how you tried to configure it then I may be able to guide you. > On 15 Dec 2024, at 8:41 PM, Nathan Ruffing <n...@rr34.us> wrote: > > I think I completed the quick configuration guide, but the result was the > apache2 default page, not "Hello World."
