Yeah we should probably remove it, or at least list it last and
suggest mod_wsgi as an alternative.

Were you able to successfully deploy roundup under mod_wsgi using the
installation instructions?

If not, do you have updates to the doc with something that works?

It looks like there may be a few variations of issues with the wsgi
setup/docs. From a 1.4 setup issues were discussed at:

  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12408871/setup-roundup-with-wsgi-and-apache

  https://community.webfaction.com/questions/4165/roundup-issue-tracker-install

These:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/modwsgi/FS4sClyxkCM
  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/modwsgi/VAz3bSF9bH4

suggest dropping

    httpd = make_server('', 8917, app)
    httpd.serve_forever()

at the end of the doc example. I don't have a setup here to test with
and I am not familiar with wsgi so ...

Have a great day.
