Using sudo a2enmod wsgi should enable the module for you once you reload apache, as most modules don't need the mod_ prefix when enabling them.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/wsgi.load
add the next string to the file
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
save, then
sudo a2enmod wsgi
sudo service apache2 restart
Step 1: The following command will install wgsi module
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
Step 2: To enable the wsgi module run the following command
sudo a2enmod wsgi
Step 3: Restart your apache server by running
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Step 4: Check whether the module is loaded
sudo apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
P.S: I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Try adding the wsgi.load and wsgi.conf from mods-available to mods-enabled manually and then restart Apache.
WSGI Warning
Official WSGI documentation says:
When using a Python virtual environment with mod_wsgi, it is very important that it has been created using the same Python installation that mod_wsgi was originally compiled for.
And then:
It is not possible to use a Python virtual environment to force mod_wsgi to use a different Python version, or even a different Python installation. In other words, Python interpreter is embedded within the mod_wsgi.
So I would not recommend any of precompiled mod_wsgi binaries from apt but instead you can compile it following the official installation docs.
