Internal server issue after set up apache 2

Hello, after completing the “how to set up an Apache…” ([link](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-apache-mysql-and-python-lamp-server-without-frameworks-on-ubuntu-14-04 , I end up with an 500 internal server issue when doing the last task.

When I’m checking error log it says:

Exec format error: exec of ‘/var/www/test/index.py’ failed: /var/www/test/index.py

Could someone please help me with this problem.

Kind regards!

Unfortunately now after setting up FlaskApp after this I am still recieving an internal server error. My code is as follows:

(flaskapp.wsgi:)

activate_this = ‘/var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/venv/bin/activate_this.py’ execfile(activate_this, dict(file=activate_this))

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys import logging

logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr) sys.path.insert(0,“/var/www/FlaskApp/”)

from FlaskApp import app as application

application.secret_key = ‘xxxx’

(FlaskApp.conf:)

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName 146.185.173.57 ServerAdmin ndplokkaar@hotmail.com WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/FlaskApp/flaskapp.wsgi <Directory /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/> Require all granted </Directory> Alias /static /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/static <Directory /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/static/> Require all granted </Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>


Unfortunately I still get this error:

If been trying to remove this error all day, but I cant seem to figure it out. How can I work this out?

Kind regards

Apply a “shebang” line, something like

#!/usr/bin/env python

as the first line. Also, make sure the script is executable with chmod.
