I found something strange on an app wich run under deamon process

Of course after that i've an ImportError.
I had to restart apache, killing the wsgi process was not enough.
What's append at 6:45 ? a stupid log rotation wich was replacing the
logfile without restarting apache... My fault of course.
I replaced it by a piped cronolog now and wait to see if this error will
come back.
I couldn't reproduce it manualy, it's the third times in one month it
append but last times i had not the debugs. Généraly i've no problem
with this app wich have very few trafic (1500 hits/day).
Do you think it can be that ?
modwsgi 2.3-1 (debian lenny)

Also in apache error log :

May be a similar case of configuration corruption which has caused:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=78
The fix, if you can compile from source, is to change all references
to 'temp_pool' to 'pool'.
Graham
William Dode
But do you see a link with the log rotation ?

I prefer to keep the distrib version and eventualy report the bug...
Anyway i will wait to see if it come back with my change of the log
rotation.

mystake like i thought. But now i've my logs... I notice a difference

At 10:26, the request was ok (i could see that a commande was created in
my database)
Between 10:26 and 10:54 there was no activity
At 10:54, we cannot see 'Deamon process inactivity timer expired...'
strange isn't it ?
What is very strange is that i've exactly the same app (since months)
under an other virtualhost and only one has this problem... On this
server 16 mod_wsgi apps run, no one has this problem.
So, today i hacked the code like you said me, changing temp_pool to
pool. If you've no other idea we'll see like that.

Where is the package/module called 'host_cde' installed?
If not on standard Python module search path and you have set sys.path
explicitly to add parent directory, or used python-path option to
WSGIDaemonProcess, clearly state which was used.
The logs show:

though are for main interpreter instance, ie., %{GLOBAL}.
Look down further and you will see:

been mangled in stored configuration and thus only empty path added
and not the two directories above where your package/module possibly
is. Thus can't find module.

It's set with python-path of the deamonprocess directive.

I see, but the question is why the python-path configuration is
corrupted (one time it's empty but another time it's
\x957Q\xb7`\xb51\b\xff\xff\xff...).
Nothing was changed in the configuration, the app was restarted because
of timeout inactivity. Indeed, if i restart apache it start again
without problem.
thx

like the value of the python-path option was stored in memory which
had been released. When that memory would be reused would be a bit
random and depend on history of how memory is used by the application.
Anyway, best answer I have at the moment as to what the cause of the
problem may be.
Graham
William Dode
You mean pool vs temp_pool ?

Yes, I am not sure about the lifetime of the temp_pool, but it
possibly is valid only for the configuration phase. So, any memory
from it retained after the initial configuration phase of Apache would
have been released and so subject to be used for something else and
overwritten, thus screwing up the retained values.

I just confirm that since i changed all references of 'temp_pool' to
'pool' i've no more corruption of the daemon configuration.
However i could'nt find why it affected only one of my app...
Do you plan a bugfix release ?

as time to do stuff on mod_wsgi is quite restricted at the moment.
Things should improve come March.
