I think I can see one possible cause of your problem Dave. You may actually have 2 applications running.
one on yourdomain.com and another on www.yourdomain.com So if someone goes to yourdoamin.com and then www.yourdomain.com they will NOT be seeing the same application. So perhaps most people go to www.yourdomain.com, but every so often someone visits yourdoamin.cominstead, which would restart the application if it was outside the timeout period. To avoid this you need to add a redirect, so that only 1 domain is in use. either redirect www.yourdoamin.com to yourdomain.com or vice versa. And also change your code to explicit to avoid this problem if CGI.SERVER_NAME IS "blah.com" else ... staging else ... dev else redirect to blah.com On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 7:46 PM, Dave Watts <dwa...@figleaf.com> wrote: > > > To confirm my understanding, are you saying that on a very busy site, > it's possible that OnApplicationStart might never run again once the app > > has started?
