I'm running apache 2.0.52 on pentium III 866 using RedHat EL3 - kernel
2.4.21-27.0.2.EL I'm using mod_python 3.1.3 and the
postgresql-python-8.0.1-1PGDG RPM.
Unfortunately the error is not readibly reproducable. Sometimes it
happens, and sometimes it doesn't. Normaly if I reload the page it
goes away. There are cron jobs that make HTTP calls to the system
every 5 minutes also written in python. When httpd is isdle "lsof |
grep httpd | grep 5432" shows nothing.
We have only been experiencing this error recently. It may just be
conincidence, but it has been noticed since upgrading to 8.0.
much to my amazement, error_log contains:
[Wed Mar 16 00:38:41 2005] [error] [client 66.216.147.134]
PythonHandler ContentGenerator: STDERR Contained data: Exception
pg.InternalError: 'Connection already closed' in <bound method
PostgresqlDBConnection.__del__ of <PGDBC.PostgresqlDBConnection
instance at 0x8b3428c>> ignored\n, referer:

The STDERR part I can explain: my web page evals and calls some python code.
I think I know the problem. The current release is printing an error
to stderr if a database connection that is aready closed is tried to
be closed again. I am catching anything on stderr and raising it as
an exception.
So I think the problem is solved.
