<br>
Trying to configure mod_wsgi for OMERO 5.2 turned out to be a bit painful. I ran into three issues (on<br>
CentOS 7 using Apache/2.4.6).<br>
<br>
1. The command to generate the Apache configuration file in the documentation did not work<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.1/sysadmins/unix/install-web/install-wsgi.html" target="_blank">https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.1/sysadmins/unix/install-web/install-wsgi.html</a><br>
<br>
<pre>$ bin/omero web config apache-wsgi<br><br>Should be:<br><br>$ bin/omero web config apache<br><br><br>2. The generated configuration FollowSymLinks option needed to be prefixed by a "+"<br></pre>
# systemctl start httpd.service<br>
Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.<br>
<br>
# systemctl status httpd.service<br>

Nov 24 03:51:28 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Unit httpd.service entered failed state.<br>
<br>
The problem above was overcome by changing:<br>
<br>
<pre> Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks<br><br>To:<br><br> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks<br><br><br>3. [authz_core:error] client denied by server configuration<br><br>Basically, the pages were 403-ing and the error above was reproted in:<br>/var/log/httpd/error_log<br><br>I found a fix for this in:<br><a href="https://mikegriffin.ie/blog/20140130-authz-core-error-client-denied-by-server-configuration/" target="_blank">https://mikegriffin.ie/blog/20140130-authz-core-error-client-denied-by-server-configuration/</a><br><br>Basically I needed to replace:<br><br><code class="yaml"> <span class="l-Scalar-Plain">Order allow, deny</span>
<span class="l-Scalar-Plain">Allow from all<br><br>With:<br></span></code></pre>
<pre><code class="yaml"> <span class="l-Scalar-Plain">Require all granted</span></code></pre>
<br>
Perhaps the script that generates the Apache template can be updated to incorporate these changes?<br>
I have included my working omero.conf file below.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
