Ubuntu , Apache2 , Django ) Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding ImportError: No module named 'encodings'
<p>I'm trying to set up my <strong>django(1.8)</strong> application with <strong>AWS EC2</strong> having <strong>Ubuntu 14.04 , Apache2 , python 3.4.</strong></p>

<p>When I run 'sudo service apache2 start' , the page keeps re-loading and the same error message is stacking at '/var/log/apache2/error.log'.</p>

<p>The error message is</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>[Fri Aug 26 2016] [mpm_event:notice] [pid n:tid m] AH00489: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) mod_wsgi/4.5.5 Python/3.4.3 configured -- resuming normal operations

  <strong>Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
  ImportError: No module named 'encodings'</strong></p>

<p>My configuration is below :</p>

<p>I added one line: <code>'Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf'</code>  at the bottom of <code>'/etc/apache2/apache2.conf'</code>.</p>

<p>I think I did it all done without something wrong.</p>

<p>But it keeps logging with the same error.
Is there anything I'm missing?</p>

<p>I did change <code>mod_wsgi/3.x Python/2.7 configured</code> --> <code>mod_wsgi/4.5.5 Python/3.4.3 configured</code> for synchronizing the python version ALREADY</p>
