Flask App Deyploy on Ubuntu 14.04. Apache2 with Python 3.7

Hi all,

so I have a simple Flask application that I would like to deploy to my Ubuntu 14.04. that is already set as a LAMP server. I have the Apache default configuration with MySQL and both Python 2.7 and 3.7 set up. I have a specific subdomain where I want to deploy my Flask app. I followed this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-apache-mysql-and-python-lamp-server-without-frameworks-on-ubuntu-14-04

But at the end I get a 500 error and when I look at the Apache error log G get that the flask module is not installed which is not true because when I check my virtual enviroment every requirement is there. I made my virtual enviroment with ‘pipenv shell’ and then I installed my requirements with ‘pip install -r requirements.txt’.

Error from the log:

mod_wsgi (pid=3501): Target WSGI script '/var/www/ja.estudent.hr/maktivnosti_backend.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module.
mod_wsgi (pid=3501): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/var/www/ja.estudent.hr/maktivnosti_backend.wsgi'.

If anyone can help me solve this problem I would really apreciate it!
