please help. i'm trying find simple way deploy flask on raspberry pi web server. have tried several methods. fastcgi seemed easiest. if there easier way let me know please.

i believe problem in hello.fcgi file, importing module named yourapplication, however, flask application created named hello.

try changing line:

from yourapplication import app from hello import app

edit: - double check url when testing - since @app.route set root, must include trailing slash in url, eg:

http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/hello.fcgi/

and not

http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/hello.fcgi
