  <p>It is the error AH00419 that I cannot figure out after DAYS of research.</p>
  
  <p>So, let’s back up. These are the steps I took previous to getting this error:</p>
  
  <p>I copied the  mod_wsgi.so  file out of the  mod_wsgi-4.4.21+ap24vc9-cp27-none-win32.whl  archive using WinRAR.</p>
  
  <p>I copied it into my c:\Apache24\modules directory</p>
  
  <p>I added this line to my httpd.conf file:  "LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so"</p>
  
  <p>My Python27 is 32-bit</p>
  
  <p>My Apache24 is 32-bit and is the VC9 version</p>
  
  <p>I have installed Visual C++ 2008 (VC9) 32-bit</p>
  
  <p>Apache24 starts up just fine if I comment out that "LoadModule... ...wsgi" line. </p>
  
  <p>I can't be the only one that has run into this problem but I have been unable to find a solution online. Can anyone help?</p>
