Apache was working fine but after last update of arch linux stop to start with this error:

░░ A start job for unit httpd.service has finished successfully.

The mod_wsgi is already installed and it is the latest version and it is in the /etc/httpd/modules folder:

$ yay -Q mod_wsgi
mod_wsgi 4.9.0-2

Looks like your mod_wgsi pacakge was build against python 3.9 .
You need to rebuild it against latest python.

Edit the PKGBUILD and increase pkgrel from 2 to a higher number[1]  , then rebuild with makepkg[2]
install with pacman -U .

[1] anything above 2 works, but using 2.1  will make it easier for your aur helper to detect when the aur package is updated .

[2] rebuilding somehing with makepkg / pacman is a bit of work but very easy, no idea how to do it with yay.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
