Hi, just stumbled on this by accident.... If I run a qp site, say for example, we use the proto example of qp, with its default settings, i.e. durus server on 7002, qp web server on 8002 (actually I added a "max_children: 1" entry to its configuration dict) : $ qp -s proto start durus[4240] started at 2005-11-23 17:36:06.989118 UTC durus[Ready with 9 objects] web[4241] started at 2005-11-23 17:36:07.049744 UTC $ ps -aux | grep pyth mario 4240 0.0 0.4 36360 1872 std S 6:36PM 0:00.04 python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/qp -s proto start mario 4241 0.0 0.3 36360 1344 std S 6:36PM 0:00.04 python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/qp -s proto start mario 4242 0.0 0.4 36360 1968 std S 6:36PM 0:00.03 python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/qp -s proto start mario 4244 0.0 0.0 18644 92 std R+ 6:36PM 0:00.00 grep pyth $ Then I view with a browser the URL: http://localhost:8002/database/ it is just fine... If, however, I load this URL instead: http://localhost:7002/database/ the browser comes back with the message that "can’t open the page “http://localhost:7002/database/” because it could not load any data from this location", which is just fine. But, at this point: $ ps -aux | grep pyth mario 4241 0.0 0.3 36360 1344 std S 6:36PM 0:00.05 python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/qp -s proto start mario 4242 0.0 0.5 36360 2760 std S 6:36PM 0:00.19 python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/qp -s proto start mario 4248 0.0 0.0 18644 92 std R+ 6:42PM 0:00.00 grep pyth $ And, if I now go back and try to view again: http://localhost:8002/database/ it gives a broken pipe error... that is also fine (after realising that durus server is not running anymore). If I attempt to view a "new" url, I guess forcing a request on the db, e.g: http://localhost:8002/database/3/ it then goes into what seems to be an infinite loop of attempts, getting on each attempt: socket.error: localhost:7002 (61, 'Connection refused') This on OSX 10.3. Latest durus/qp versions. mario
