Error: "module wsgi_module is already loaded, skipping"

Question

Please help me out, I have been trying to resolve this error from a long time.

when i restart Apache and type :sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl -t, I get an output like:

[Fri Aug 24 17:02:58 2012] [warn] module wsgi_module is already loaded, skipping
Syntax OK  

What is going wrong?

I have checked the wsgi.load file in etc/apache2/mods-enabled. It loads the mod_wsgi.so only once and I have installed libapache-mod-wsgi from the source.

Solution

You are likely loading the module multiple times. Check in your conf.d directory. grep LoadModule /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf and see what modules each config are attempting to load.

Have you looked at your configuration and verified that you aren't loading the module twice in the conf files, as suggested by @GrahamDumpleton's answer on the question he linked?

Look for the module's name anywhere in the Apache directory: find /etc/apache2 |xargs grep -s -i wsgi
