wsgi.conf (mapfish) problem with apache 2.2 in rhel5

[ElGerys]

Hello,

I'm new around here and would like your support please with an issue about wsgi and apache. I have set up a mapfish application (

http://demo.mapfish.org/mapfishsample/2.2/)

in my red hat (rhel5) and there are some things I don't know how to solve. The first one is this message:

service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 32 of /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/html/mapfish/MapFishSample/apache/wsgi.conf:[/URL]
Invalid command 'WSGIDaemonProcess', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                           [FAILED]

The mapfish app works under an env file, thus they have an apache configuration (i.e. directory) that has to be adapted to the OS Linux. It has several *.conf files, the one that is causing me problems is this one:

#
# The Apache mod_wsgi configuration file.
#
# We use mod_wsgi's daemon mode. And we assign a specific process
# group to the WSGI application.
#
# Note: once we use mod_wsgi 3 we'll be able to get rid of the
# Location block by passing process-group and application-group
# options to the WSGIScriptAlias directive.
#

RewriteEngine on

    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
</Location>

As I understand, in Apache 2.2 all INCLUDE flags must be saved in a file and put that file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/, and no longer add those in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. I did that but still the apache server doesn't work (so it doesn't appear the Apache server welcome web under

http://localhost/).

I'm stuck here, I'd appreciate any suggestions to circumvent this error.

Thanks in advance,

Gery

PS. I have this variable "modwsgi_user", what should I write there with regard to my linux? thanks.

There may be a problem with case. With linux, case does matter. For example, /This/Dir/Path is not the same as /this/dir/path.
