Hello all, I'm hoping to get some assistance on this.
Issue: A user can upload a shapefile to the django application once upon a fresh apache restart. Any subsequent shapefile upload by any other user results in the server not giving any response back to the client. Other uploads go through fine. Shapefile uploads make use of GDAL (in particular, the code will hang on a call to OGRGeometry.transform), other uploads do not. What I think is happening: A python thread will hang whenever a user uploads a shapefile (and thus calling a GDAL library function), given that another thread has previously used a GDAL function. What I've done so far: >From the geodjango documentation >(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/gis/deployment/), no >threading should be used for webserver deployment as GDAL is not thread safe. >However, since I'm using apache on windows, it appears that the mpm used >creates multiple threads for each request http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_winnt.html My question: Is there any way to use apache on windows for geodjango applications? I'm assuming my problem will be solved if I can have each request be handled by a separate process - are there any other webservers that I should look into? I'd prefer solutions that would work on Windows. Relevant software used: Windows Server 2008 R2 Apache HTTP Server version 2.2.22 GDAL/OGR 1.9.1 Django 1.4 MapServer CGI 6.0.3 Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
