I have a file manage.py,

import os
from app import create_app
app = create_app(os.getenv('FLASK_CONFIG') or 'default')
if __name__ == '__main__':app.run()

manage.py is working fine when tested in debug mode. However, I'm not able to host it on apache.

my wsgi file: start.wsgi

from manage import app as application
import sys
sys.stdout = sys.stderr

virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>ServerName domain.comWSGIDaemonProcess manage user=user group=user threads=5WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/apioflifeapp/app/start.wsgi<Directory /var/www/apioflifeapp/app>Require all grantedOptions allAllowOverride allAllow from all</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

error in error log

i'm not understanding why i'm getting the import error

You need to import the app name from your actual application, not manage. Assuming it's apioflifeapp, you would import the following in start.wsgi instead:

from apioflifeapp import app as application
