  3. Verify the contents of file iRecommend.conf by checking the snippet with paths to << iRecommend_Directory>>. Verify and change the <VirtualHost *> tag with correct path entries to << iRecommend_Directory>> as shown below. Where << iRecommend_Directory>> is “C:/iAutomate/Middleware/iRecommend” in the snippet from iRecommend.conf. 
    <VirtualHost *>
WSGIScriptAlias /iRecommend C:/iAutomate/Middleware/iRecommend/main.wsgi
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 10
<Directory C:/iAutomate/Middleware/iRecommend>
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
Require all granted
