Are you ever seeing any of the messages: Daemon process deadlock timer expired, stopping process ... Segmentation Fault When you see the message: Premature end of script headers are you seeing messages indicating that the daemon process has restarted? Ensure you check both main Apache error log and any virtual host specific error log for messages. At least while work this out, you can add option: inactivity-timeout=120 to WSGIDaemonProcess and should hopefully cause process to restart automatically after being stuck for 2 minutes. At least then if you can't get to it quickly yourself to restart Apache, it should fix itself up. BTW, do you have a specific need to run prefork MPM? If you don't, ie, not running mod_php, you would be better off with worker MPM. Also post the actual existing WSGIDaemonProcess/WSGIProcessGroup lines you are using now.
