Hi all,
I am trying to port my first Django 1.0.2 application to run on OSX/Leopard with Apache + mod_python 3.3.1 + python 2.6.1 (all running in 64-bit mode) and I am experiencing an occasional error when uploading a file that was not present when testing with the Django development server.
The code for the upload is similar to what described in the Django documentation:
class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
file = forms.FileField()
description = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
notifygroup = forms.BooleanField(label='Notify Group?', required=False)
def upload_file(request, date, meetingid ):
print date, meetingid
if request.method == 'POST':
print 'before reloading the form...'
form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
print 'after reloading the form'
if form.is_valid():
try:
handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file'], request.REQUEST['date'], request.REQUEST['description'], form.cleaned_data['notifygroup'], meetingid )
except:
return render_to_response('uploaded.html', { 'message': 'Error! File not uploaded!' })
return HttpResponseRedirect('/myapp/uploaded/')
else:
form = UploadFileForm()
return render_to_response('upload.html', {'form': form, 'date':date, 'meetingid':meetingid})
This code normally works correctly, but sometimes (say, once every 10 uploads) and after a fairly long waiting time, it fails with the following error:
IOError at /myapp/upload/2009-01-03/1
Client read error (Timeout?)

I tried to run everything using mod_wsgi and no difference.
Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Updated:
Though I succeeded uploading large files (60+ MB), when it fails it fails with no evident relationship with the size of the upload, i.e. it fails also with 10kB files that have successfully been uploaded before.
