Invalid command 'WSGIReloadMechanism' in my Apache site's config file

I am trying to deploy a Django project and am using Apache2 with mod_wsgi. Here are the relevant lines in my Apache conf file:

WSGIScriptReloading On
WSGIDaemonProcess myprojectcom
WSGIReloadMechanism Process
WSGIProcessGroup myprojectcom
WSGIApplicationGroup myprojectcom
WSGIPassAuthorization On

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/myproject/myproject/deploy/deploy.wsgi

I've used a very similar conf file for many other deployments, but this is the first time that I'm getting the following error:

/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled开发者_运维百科/myproject.com:
Invalid command 'WSGIReloadMechanism', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
  ...fail!

I don't see any syntax error, though. I'm on Ubuntu, using the libapache2-mod-wsgi package. What could be wrong?

Remove the whole line:

WSGIReloadMechanism Process

It isn't needed any more and the directive was removed completely in mod_wsgi 3.X.

You should preferable not rely on old blog posts for how to set up mod_wsgi and use the actual mod_wsgi documentation on the mod_wsgi site instead.
