[Answer]-Mod_wsgi – mod_wsgi-express error AH00526: Syntax error on line 16

I had a similar issue trying to spin up a TurboGears python application. I was finally able to get it started by executing the start-server command with the user option included. I set the user option equal to the user running apache. In my case the user is “apache”. See below.

[root@localhost ~]# mod_wsgi-express start-server --user=apache <path_to_my_wsgi_file>
