I have received a bunch of memory errors(below) in the virtual host error log and evntually a refusal for mod_python to process any posted data over ~120K. I saw this under the following environement: Two LAN connections in immediate sequence,each minute post a string of xml via comamnd line curl on an embeded linux server to a XPPro-Apache2.5.5 ModPython3.1.4. This file is varies in size from about 150K to 400K (8 channels of xml tags and waveform floats). The script, takes this posted data, and writes it to the proper directory, and names it based on documentElement....pretty simple I had this running for 3 days and received over 6000 files and then this morning i noticed it stopped, and saw the following error repeated over and over. I took a look at pythons memory in TaskManager(nothing interesting), but unfortuately restarted apache before i looked at its memory. There are no errors in the main server error log, just the virtual host. I noticed before i restarted it that i could send a post(exact format as above), via pyCurl that was about 100K and that would get processed, but if sent a larger via say 1700K, i would get another memory_error in the log. I realize there are a lot of places to look things to blame it on ...granted this is my development XP desktop/dev box. It died in the am, before any use. What i was hoping to do with the above scenario is run about 10+ of these devices and still be taking in a file a minute or more, and then random files less often (10-15 minutes) Since this wont happen again for a few days, i thought id seek out some wisdom awaiting the crash TIA Jeff [Sun Feb 26 08:24:49 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PythonHandler mod_python.publisher: Traceback (most recent call last): [Sun Feb 26 08:24:49 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PythonHandler mod_python.publisher: File "D:\\Servers\\python\\Lib\\site-packages\\mod_python\\apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch\n result = object(req) [Sun Feb 26 08:24:49 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PythonHandler mod_python.publisher: File "D:\\Servers\\python\\Lib\\site-packages\\mod_python\\publisher.py", line 134, in handler\n req.form = util.FieldStorage(req, keep_blank_values=1) [Sun Feb 26 08:24:49 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PythonHandler mod_python.publisher: File "D:\\Servers\\python\\Lib\\site-packages\\mod_python\\util.py", line 114, in __init__\n pairs = parse_qsl(req.read(clen), keep_blank_values) [Sun Feb 26 08:24:49 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PythonHandler mod_python.publisher: MemoryError --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
