Hi All, I am struggling with this problem for a while now. I have a form (newforms) to allow users to upload images and movie files. All the code runs fine on my test-development machine, but when I deploy it on a server with FastCGI, it slowly breaks.
This is the code I am using: http://dpaste.com/hold/13336/ The problem happens specifically with uploading files. FastCGI is spawning several python processes, which are not automatically cleaned up, after the upload script finished successful. After a couple of uploads (3) by a user, this makes the server filled up with stalled processes completely, so it becomes unavailable and only returns error 500. I find processes like these ps -aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND dirk 2814 0.0 0.4 59952 4084 ?? SJ Fri05PM 0:11.29 python mysite.fcgi (python2.5) dirk 2822 0.0 0.6 59936 5756 ?? SJ Fri05PM 0:15.23 python mysite.fcgi (python2.5) dirk 78887 0.0 0.5 74848 5360 ?? SJ Sat03PM 0:06.93 python mysite.fcgi (python2.5) Would any of you, by looking at the code have an idea of what could cause the spawning of these processes or how they could be controlled from within my code? Or maybe you know of some missing directive I might have to add to Apache / FastCGI to control these renegade processes?
