I’ve had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago. There is a timout that you can define for apache however it somehow didn’t take when i tried it. You really should consider a background task, as Bill suggested.
For me it was a query that took forever. I was able to cut the time in half by going through this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/topics/db/optimization/ Especially select_related() helped a lot ! https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/models/querysets/#select-related Von: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] Im Auftrag von Bill Freeman Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. Jänner 2013 14:47 An: django-users@googlegroups.com Betreff: Re: Execution time of a long process results in an Internal Server Error 500 Maybe. But it's generally considered a bad idea to tie up a request thread for that long. A more common solution is to arrange for a background task to do the heavy lifting. If the user must know when the task is done, you can poll in JavaScript.

The problem is that sometimes (not always) it results in an Internal Server Error 500 because of the time it takes. Is there a way to configure Apache or mod_wsgi to prevent this? Let's say, that even if the process takes 10 or 15 minutes it just keeps running until it finish? Thanks a lot for the help.
