Rishi and all, I followed what's in the thread but things are still not working for me. Perhaps someone could assist / clarify exactly how things are defined on your end.
In my app, all user-facing requests should be handled by the front-end code & the backend, named 'worker', should handle a cron job and a task (performed by a push queue). However, referencing the backend by its name ('worker') in cron.yaml, queue.yaml and when enqueuing a task, does not make things work (see code below). In the admin console, I see that tasks are added to the queue but they are not processed. The log has the following error: 2011-09-26 06:59:36.283 /_ah/start 302 505ms 420cpu_ms 0kb instance=0 Process terminated because it failed to respond to the start request with an HTTP status code of 200-299 or 404. Questions: 1. How did you end up referencing the backend? full path? [instance.backend_name]? [backend_name]? 2. When deploying the code, did you have to update the app's code as well as the backends? adding '--backends' to the Launcher does not seem to work. I can not see it in the launcher's documentation<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp.html>as well. 3. Any idea why I am getting this error? I don't use the 'start' directive. 4. Any idea why the task queue is not processing the queued tasks? Here are some code/config snippets: * backends.yaml looks like: backends: - name: worker class: B2 instances: 1 options: dynamic * cron.yaml : cron: - description: hourly data fetch url: /admin/datafetch schedule: every 1 hours target:worker * queue.yaml : queue: - name: relateditems target:worker * and in the python code I used target='worker' when enqueuing a task: taskqueue.add (url='/admin/fetchdata', params='kw=apple', target='worker') -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
