django runserver freeze after 10-15 min

[diadya_vova]

Hello all,

I run small application with "manage.py runserver MyIP".
It used in small LAN by my coworkers.
And if we don't use it some minutes - it's freeze.
And don't respond.

I use Django 0.96 in "Instant Django" package.

Hi,

That command runs a server that is for development and testing
purposes only. It is not meant to run for a long time, although that
doesn't explain why it crashes after just 10 minutes.
To use it in production, you should consider a proper server like
Apache [http://www.apache.org/], which will do a much better job at
serving your application.

Google with "django+apache" and you should find some help on how to
set it up.

Thank you for quick response!

Dev. server not crashes. It's stop to respond on browsers requests.
Yeah, Apache is better choice for this.
But I need this application to be portable. Without instalation.
Because this I use "Instant Django" and SQLite.

I tried Google before asking :)
And tried to search for "Instant Apache".
Is it exist Apache, that don't need to be installed?

the development server can not handle more than one request at once.
if one user is using your app, no one else will be able to.

What do you mean by "portable". What are you exactly trying to
achieve?

Maybe you should consider something like Xampp [1], which makes it
easy to install apache.

Hi:

As the guy behind Instant Django, I want to point out the disclaimer
on the home page:

"Be aware that Instant Django uses the built-in Django development web
server, so it should not be used for deployment of Django projects."

I wasn't joking, Instant Django is for learning Django basics, and can
not be used for deployment due to the limitations of the built in
development server.

There are portable versions of Apache for Windows, like:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

There are also many others. I'm sure with some time and a little
persistence you could build a portable version of Django with this,
but I don't think anyone has done this yet, at least that I could
find.

Oh! Thank you.
It's looks like the best choice for me.

The link to Gordon's page is much nicer than the hackery I did some
time back, but I thought I'd pipe in with a comment that the
WSGIServer from CherryPy works very nicely. We've embedded it into our
Django Queue Service project (I yanked the WSGIServer directly -
didn't need the rest:
http://code.google.com/p/django-queue-service/source/browse/trunk/qs/server.py)
and it works exceptionally well as a super-portable "run it anywhere"
application server.

(run it anywhere in my case means Win32, Linux, and MacOS X)

Seconded.

Mark Ramm pointed out to me at OSCON this year how self-contained
CherryPy's server was (one file in CherryPy 3) and I've been
experimenting with it a bit now. I'm quite impressed.

Mark was also the one who got me working it. :-) At OSCON 2007 as well...

Big thanks to all folks!
It's works fine with CherryPy.
