Hello All,
I am trying to write a webpage wrapper for some scripts I have written in python on my FreeBSD 9 machine. When I do this on the command line #python tests.py It works fine, although the script takes 8 full seconds to run...(normal) when I do a: proc = subprocess.Popen(['/usr/local/bin/python', 'tests.py'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) in a cgi-bin .py webpage the script seems to time out. There are no errors in the log (/var/log/httpd-error.log). When I make a 'fake' shorter version of the script that only takes a fraction of a second to run (versus the full 8 second version) the subprocess.Popen command works fine and returns the data fine to the web browser. Doing some digging it looks like the cgi-bin timeout is default at 300 seconds which I am nowhere near... I am not sure where to go at this point... I was thinking of running this in the background so the script can continue on using (&) and then checking afterwards for a results file or something... but that seems like a crappy fix. Sorry to be so ambiguous but I have no errors (just behavior) to work with and I think it's probably an architecture problem with the way I am approaching this on apache. I am open to any and all suggestions but unfortunately I can switch off FreeBSD 9. ============================ Sean Cavanaugh Cisco Global Certifications Team - IPv6
