On the IT side:

Created an in-bound and out-bound rules for Port 80 in the Firewall.
Using administrative user to run 'httpd -e debug' or for starting the Apache2.4 service in Services (Using the Log On As)

error log is clean.

Can provide more details.

What am I missing? maybe something in the Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support?

Solution

  • The issue was with my WSGIPythonHome path Instead of "C:\Users\u\Desktop\Ido\WorkSpace\Apps\apache\miniDjango\venv\Scripts\python"

    It should be

    "C:\Users\u\Desktop\Ido\WorkSpace\Apps\apache\miniDjango\venv"
