Yes I set it up. Lots of query issued by my program are in the query log, with no errors reported. the last one is at 16:08:34 and the error was returned at 16:08:47. > * Which process(es) on the server is using 100% CPU time? directly from htop: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 544 mader 20 0 969M 953M 1444 R 96.0 47.4 50:09.85 python ./manage.py celeryd -l warning > I suspect that you're opening a connection to the server, > doing something in Django for a long time, and then > trying to use the connection.

The db is queried by my code often: the maximum time between two successive queries is no more than 10 seconds, the source of this info is mysql-slow.log. Again, I do not know how django handles connections... The python function / task raising this error is part of a billing program. The task elaborates a csv file with the calls made by the customers: each call "searches" the db for info about the calling number owner and the cost of the called number and other things. Through empirical tests, I noticed that the error raises after about 165000 lines(=calls) are elaborated (the file usually contains about 245000), but everything is fine with fewer. One solution could be splitting the file in pieces and then unifying the results but it's not understanding and solving the problem, but just circumventing it... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
