deployment, mod_python, painfully slow

[Daniel Haus]

Hello,

I built a website based on TG and followed the instructions at
http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/mod_python to deploy it through apache2
on a virtual host (ubuntu dapper).

Everything works and I don't see any error messages, but the whole
thing runs awfully slow, and obviously it's not a connection problem.
Response time is about 1-2 secs per page (requested from the same
host). If I run the app standalone (no mod_python, but start-*.py),
it's behaving as expected.

I double checked all configuration files and have no clue where to
look for the cause.

Did anyone experience this before? What could I've done wrong?

I highly recommend mod_rewrite/proxy and running turbogears as its own
cherrypy daemon. I can't speak for the mod_python model, I've never
used it, but if you're stuck, an alternate route is a good move.

Normally I wouldn't have said anything but nobody else who knew
something replied, so I figured this was better than nothing :)

Hello Daniel,

I am the author of this mod_python information page. I wrote this
because I was asked to do so by people on this list. I myself do not
use this deployment technique because of this performance issue you
have remarked.

So basically I now use apache's mod_proxy to forward queries to my
standalone tg app.

I don't have any idea about why this is behaving like this but I can
confirm that I had the exact same issues you encountered and thus
decided to switch to an mod_proxy deployment method.

Regards,

Florent AIDE.

Thank you, this is _really_ useful information.
I stop searching and directly choose mod_proxy.

Florent: It would be great to put this info about performance problems
on the page so people know what they are getting into!

thanks.

Done.
