Unable to connect to WSGI daemon process

[Louis Bertrand]

Hi,
There was a disconnect between Apache and the Kallithea WSGI daemon process. The WSGI daemon was unable to read the socket. The exact error message in Apache's logs/ssl-errors is

[Thu Jul 30 17:52:34.396927 2020] [wsgi:error] [pid 10169] (13)Permission denied: [client 216.blahblah:58674] mod_wsgi (pid=10169): Unable to connect to WSGI daemon process 'kallithea' on '/var/run/apache2/wsgi.10110.0.1.sock' as user with uid=1003.

where user 1003 is 'hg', the Linux Kallithea user.

Solved by adding
socket-user=hg
on the WSGIDaemonProcess line in the Apache WSGI configuration and restarting Apache

All the best
 --Louis
