 This is my first post in stackoverflow.
 I'll try to explain to you what I've done with steps and what I've done to
 try to solve the problems.

 # Problem
 I'm struggling with the configuration of mod_wsgi for my django project.

 When i try to connect to localhost:8001 (port listened by mod_wsgi) I get
 an infinite loading or a "This site can’t be reached" page.

 # What i've done

 I have **installed apache2.4** with apachelounge
 (https://www.apachelounge.com/download/) in my C:\\ drive.

 I have **installed anaconda** (I haven't set conda in path) and I created
 my environment for my django project (called *production*).

 It runs correctly if I run the command `python manage.py runserver`
 (if i go to http://localhost:7000/ (port set to manage.py) it works.

 I installed mod_wsgi in my conda environment with `pip install mod-wsgi`.

 # Files

 if _BASE_DIR not in sys.path:
     sys.path.append(_BASE_DIR)

 os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'core.settings'
 os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "core.settings")

 # set CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY to True otherwise it says OpenSSL...

 ```

 tried with SetEnv in httpd.conf but it didn't work
 ```
 # did not work
 SetEnv PYTHONHOME "C:/Users/my_name/anaconda3/envs/production"
 SetEnv PYTHONPATH "C:/Users/my_name/anaconda3/envs/production/Lib/site-
 packages"
 ```

 I **added to my environment variables**
 - PYTHONHOME >> C:\Users\my_name\anaconda3\envs\production
 - PYTHONHOME >> C:\Users\my_name\anaconda3\envs\production\Lib\site-
 packages

 Now when i go to localhost:8001 i don't get the same error.

 # Issue 2: infinite loading

 ```

 **I tried to set `WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}` in httpd.conf**, now i
 get an Internal Server Error page.

 # Issue 3: internal server error (continue of Issue 2)

 Now the in the ***error.log*** appears:
 ```
 raise RuntimeError(\r
 [Thu Mar 23 14:09:06.159643 2023] [wsgi:error] [pid 22156:tid 1056]
 [client ::1:49632] RuntimeError: OpenSSL 3.0's legacy provider failed to
 load. This is a fatal error by default, but cryptography supports running
 without legacy algorithms by setting the environment variable
 CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY. If you did not expect this error, you have
 likely made a mistake with your OpenSSL configuration.\r
 ```

 I tried to **set CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY to True**

 I tried writing `SetEnv CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY 1` in httpd.conf
 but it did not work, so
 I added `os.environ.setdefault("CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY", "1")` in
 wsgi.py.

 # Issue 4: infinite loading (again...)
 When i visit localhost:8001 i get an infinite loading.

 ***error.log***
 ```

 And now I'm stuck here.
