I finally figured out why this is happens. If you have a small VPN like i do (tinyvpn on ipxcore, 96MB ram), the thread size (8MB) will cause a very small amount of threads to be allowed.
To fix this, enter the command below: ulimit -s 1024 http://www.alak.cc/2011/11/python-threaderror-cant-start-new.html http://adywicaksono.wordpress.com/2007/07/10/i-can-not-create-more-than-255-threads-on-linux-what-is-the-solutions/ Related error message: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 474, in start _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ()) thread.error: can't start new thread Hope this helps someone in the future trying to run this great web framework on a minimal server!
