Hello, It looks like now Django works on Dreamhost without hiccups.
Before I had 2 problems I shared here: 1) Highly frequent but random OperationalError: (2013, 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query') 2) Strange stalling (for ~2 minutes) during serving long pages. #1 --- I filed a ticket #463 with a patch to MySQL backend. #2 --- Allan Saddi (author of flup/fcgi.py) found a problem with Python 2.3 and successfully patched FastCGI software. Some details and links are here: http://lazutkin.com/blog/2005/sep/07/django_dreamhost_happy_end/ These two fixes completely eliminated all problems known to me. Now you can: 1) try (and beta test) the patch to mysql.py 2) give Allan some time to update his repository and download new flup/fcgi.py 3) enjoy Django on Dreamhost Thanks, Eugene
