Hello all I experienced a strange behaviour with my django application when I wanted to deploy and test on my apache instance on my virtual server. I could successfully deploy my application but when I wanted to access any view the browser just took forever to load and it never showed the view. Accessing any non existing view gave the correct debug error view.
After a long debugging session I could locate the problem to be in django/middleware/csrf.py. The call which actually took a very long time was the call to randrange(0, _MAX_CSRF_KEY). By playing around in a python session it seems that the call to the system randrange with random.SystemRandom().randrange(0, _MAX_CSRF_KEY) never stops (or doesn't seem to stop in less than 30 minutes) whereas a call to the "normal" randrange with randrange(0, _MAX_CSRF_KEY) happily returns the desired random number. I had to manully set the line "randrange = random.randrange" instead of the if/else logic which checks for the system random generator to make my app work on my virtual host. Now it seems that is not a django problem per se. But I am wondering what I should to with this kind of error as I had to manually fiddle around in the django-code to be able to successfully host my application. In my virtual host I use apache 2.2.15 with python 2.6.5, mod_wsgi 3.2 and django 1.2.1 Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
