| 205 | | If Apache causes a segmentation fault, it's probably because you're running |
|---|
| 206 | | mod_python and mod_php in the same Apache instance, with MySQL as your database |
|---|
| 207 | | backend. This is a known mod_python issue, not a Django issue, and there's more |
|---|
| 208 | | information in the `mod_python FAQ entry`. |
|---|
| 209 | | |
|---|
| | 205 | If Apache causes a segmentation fault, there are two probable causes, neither |
|---|
| | 206 | of which has to do with Django itself. |
|---|
| | 207 | |
|---|
| | 208 | 1. It may be because your Python code is importing the "pyexpat" module, |
|---|
| | 209 | which may conflict with the version embedded in Apache. For full |
|---|
| | 210 | information, see `Expat Causing Apache Crash`_. |
|---|
| | 211 | 2. It may be because you're running mod_python and mod_php in the same |
|---|
| | 212 | Apache instance, with MySQL as your database backend. In some cases, |
|---|
| | 213 | this causes a known mod_python issue due to version conflicts in PHP and |
|---|
| | 214 | the Python MySQL backend. There's full information in the |
|---|
| | 215 | `mod_python FAQ entry`_. |
|---|
| | 216 | |
|---|
| | 217 | If you continue to have problems setting up mod_python, a good thing to do is |
|---|
| | 218 | get a barebones mod_python site working, without the Django framework. This is |
|---|
| | 219 | an easy way to isolate mod_python-specific problems. `Getting mod_python Working`_ |
|---|
| | 220 | details this procedure. |
|---|
| | 221 | |
|---|
| | 222 | The next step should be to edit your test code and add an import of any |
|---|
| | 223 | Django-specific you're using -- your views, your models, your URLconf, your RSS |
|---|
| | 224 | configuration, etc. Put these imports in your test handler function and access |
|---|
| | 225 | your test URL in a browser. If this causes a crash, you've confirmed it's the |
|---|
| | 226 | importing of Django code that causes the problem. Gradually reduce the set of |
|---|
| | 227 | imports until it stops crashing, so as to find the specific module that causes |
|---|
| | 228 | the problem. Drop down further into modules and look into their imports, as |
|---|
| | 229 | necessary. |
