Pootle hangs

Hi all,
As I want to use Pootle to translate I experience quite often (e.g.,
now) that Pootle hangs. I can easily access the site and navigate the
lists, but when I want to go into translation mode it hangs for ever.

Indeed, same situation with me.

I think that at least the search function of pootle leaks (kind of) memory.

By "memory leak", I mean

* The real one
* Some kind of memory management like smart pointer.

So, we have to reboot the *web server* (or even the server) to free up memory.

I am sorry that I don't have time to dig into the problem deeper than what
the intuitive art told me :slight_smile:

I've just installed Munin onto the server. Hopefully, its graphs will give us a clue. :slight_smile:

By the way, Litmus installation on the same server seemed unaffected, so I'm not too sure where to look yet...

Try to start the server under valgrind, do *something* and/or wait until
server hangs, then stop valgrind.

You will see if is there any memory leaked :))

Hm, I just killed a second Pootle instance which was meant to be a sandbox for me and André, but seems to have been mostly forgotten. It was configured to use Django's cache and an SQLite database.

I think the main Pootle became accessible right after killing this instance.

Anyway, we'll see if it helped. Munin wasn't very helpful su far... :slight_smile:

G'nite.

Nguyen, if Pootle keeps misbehaving, maybe you would have time to look at it? :slight_smile:

Pootle doesn't do the search indexing itself, that should be coming from Lucene or Xapian. So if search is leaking it most likely would come from there.
