"OSError: [Errno 88] Socket operation on non-socket" by flipflop

When trying to deploy an Flask application to my LAMP server, I got an error from flipflop, a FastCGI/WSGI gateway which enables my application to speak the FastCGI protocol.

~/minimal/run.py 

from flask import Flask
from flipflop import WSGIServer

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'hello, world'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    WSGIServer(app).run()

Relevant part of the Apache configuration file, i.e. /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ScriptAlias / /home/apps/minimal/run.py
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
</VirtualHost>

Error report by Apache/2.2.15:

In addition, even without using flipflop, it still doesn't work:

~/minimal/run.py 

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'hello, world'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

I've managed to run your example, but there are some tweaking involved to make it work.
You might need to change paths on your system, because from your logs it seems that you're using system that runs python2.6 and older apache version which still uses httpd file.
If it is possible I would advise you to upgrade your environment.

Here is a step-by-step working solution:

1.Install virtualenvwrapper:

sudo -EH pip2 install virtualenvwrapper

2.Activate it:

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

3.Create virtual env:

mkvirtualenv minimal

4.Install flask and flup:

pip install -U flask flup

flipflop is not working for me, but as it's README states

This module is a simplified fork of flup, written by Allan Saddi. It only has the FastCGI part of the original module.

so you can safely use it.

5.Install apache2:

sudo apt-get install apache2

6.Install libapache2-mod-fastcgi:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi

7.Create /var/www/minimal/run.py:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'hello, world'

8.Create /var/www/minimal/minimal.fcgi:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)

activate_this = '/home/some_user/.virtualenvs/minimal/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/minimal/")

from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
from run import app

if __name__ == '__main__':
    WSGIServer(app).run()

9.Make minimal.fcgi executable:

sudo chmod +x minimal.fcgi

10.Create minimal.conf file (in /etc/apache2/sites-available on my server):

FastCgiServer /var/www/minimal/minimal.fcgi -idle-timeout 300 -processes 5

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName YOUR_IP_ADDRESS
    DocumentRoot /var/www/minimal/

    AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
    ScriptAlias / /var/www/minimal/minimal.fcgi/

    <Location />
        SetHandler fastcgi-script
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

11.Enable new site:

sudo a2ensite minimal.conf

12.Change /var/www/ ownership to www-data user:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

13.Restart apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And voila! :)

If you visit your server address you should see hello, world in your browser: enter image description here

Also when restarting apache you can view FastCGI starting in apache's error.log:
