I still consider myself a newbie, and being new to the list I request that you take it easy on me. ;)
We're running a RHEL LAMP server with the mod_python publisher interpreter. The MySQLdb module seems to be giving me more problems than I had hoped for. With a fresh restart of apache, all programs run flawlessly for an average of 7-8 executions, but then will return an InterfaceError. The last few lines of the traceback are as follows: File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 147, in execute charset = db.character_set_name() InterfaceError: (0, '') This InterfaceError will continue sporadically about half of the time the programs are run. We are running mysql version 4.1.2 so I was assuming it may be caused by the mysql_character_set_name() bug (as shown in the comments here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-character-set-name.html), but this was ruled out when the error continued after hard coding the charset as utf8. As you can see, without any error description this is very hard to debug. I have spent several days researching this and have come up empty handed. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. If this is the wrong list to ask, please let me know and I will repost elsewhere. Versions: Python: 2.5.1 MySQL: 4.1.2 MySQLdb: 1.2.2 Thanks! Jough
