When my Django system is under heavy load (system CPU > 90%), I start getting complaints from users that their authentication changes in the middle of a session. For example:
1) Bob logs in to the site. The site says "Hello Bob" at the top of each page. 2) Bob uses the site for a while without incident 3) Bob notices that the top of the page now says "Hello Steve". The problem is intermittent, and I can't duplicate it (but I have seen it with my own eyes). I'm running Django 1.2.5 on Windows, with SessionMiddleware installed. I have django.contrib.sessions in my INSTALLED_APPS, and I believe that I'm using database-backed sessions, with a MySQL database. The only "odd" thing that I'm doing is that I have four instances of Apache running, with my Django app running via mod_wsgi in each of them. There is another apache server in front that does load- balancing, so multiple requests from a single user may get routed to different apache instances (which is what I want, to get maximum throughput on Ajax calls). But I thought that having the sessions be database-backed would deal with this (multiple session requests can hit the database at the same time). Any thoughts? I'm sorry this is such a lousy, unrepeatable case. P.S. I have looked at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1180, which says that this issue has been fixed, but I can't tell if this is the same issue or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
