Django on Windows?

[Leeuw van der, Tim]

Hi,   What is the recommended way of running Django on a Windows server?   I’ve developed a small web-application with Django, for home-use only, and I want to run it on one of my PC’s – which runs Windows.   So yesterday I did the first test with Django, Apache, mod_python and my application – and it crashes, very frequently. Therefore I’m wondering, is there perhaps a better way to run a Django application on windows?   Software versions:   -          Windows XP, SP2 -          Apache 2.0.55 -          mod_python 3.2.7 -          Python 2.4.2 -          (SVN 1.3.0) -          PIL 1.1.5 -          PostgreSQL 8.1.3 -          PsycoPG 1.1.21     The application is a photo-album like application which stores directory and image info in a psql database, and creates thumbnails using PIL. The way it works now, it is doing a lot of redirects (from a django view to static content – either image, or thumbnail). Retrieving 1 page therefore means doing a lot of requests to the Django-view for the thumbnails; each request then determines which thumbnail to load (or creates it) and redirects to the appropriate thumbnail-url.   The front-page has 38 images, which means 39 requests to a Django view and database-access in each of them, and it crashes the Apache server multiple times just to display that page.   I *sometimes* see in the server logs some things relating to database-rollback, but not every time it crashes. I think actually that the rollbacks are happening during recovery after a crash and are not cause of a crash. I do not see any other dumps or tracebacks in the server that could give me a clue what is wrong.     Does anyone else have similar stability problems with a similar stack of software? Should I replace mod_python with a (fast)cgi-based solution, somehow? Any upgrades recommended?   Or is the only realistic recommendation to head over to the mod_python lists?     Cheers,   --Tim       --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
