Import conflict when running flask app with apache mod_wsgi on windows

Question

I am permit you to ask you about a problem that I have with hosting flask application with your portage of mod_wsgi on windows

I have two flask application and only one can be alive a the same times due to conflict in import

ie : If a request application 1 I have a response Then if I request application 2 I have internal server error with error in log ... Then if I restart apache and I request application 2 I have a response but if I request application 1 I have the same internal server error If I comments some import like numpy both application can be alive at the same time

Any help would be appreciated if you have any idea or link or answer to about this problem?

My installation is describe below

Thanks by advance for tour times and your works

I had a similar issue in a project. In my case, I had to add WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL} inside the .conf file of my site.

This is the documentation where I found the information:
