title: Why doesn't mod_wsgi support daemon mode on Windows?
body: <p>On <a href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/</a> one can read this statement</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Daemon mode of mod_wsgi will however
    only be available on Apache 2.0 or 2.2
    running on UNIX, and only when the
    Apache runtime library underlying
    Apache has been compiled with support
    for threading.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What's the reason there's no support for daemon mode under Windows?</p>
  
  <p>I found the above after getting</p>
  
  <pre><code>Invalid command 'WSGIDaemonProcess', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>error from Apache. It's not a problem with module's inclusion as <code>WSGIScriptAlias</code> directive works ok. I guess the error I get is due the limitation described on the mod_wsgi's wiki.</p>
