Hi, I am setting a global dictionary (at the module level). Every time the handler is executed, I check the global to see if it needs to be initialized, and if so, I set it to some value. If MaxRequestsPerChild (apache directive) is 0, or a large number, you get what you would expect: the global needs to be initialized the first time after an apache restart, and seldom on subsequent requests. If I set it to 1, however, the same thing happens. I.e., it seems as if the module is not being re-loaded for each request, which is what I thought was the implication for MaxRequestsPerChild = 1. However, if I set MaxKeepAliveRequests to 1 as well, then the global needs to be initialized on *alternate* requests. I.e., first time, yes. 2nd time, no, etc. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I am quite puzzled. (this is for MPM = prefork (as far as I know), on linux, apache 2.0.48, mod_python 3.1.3, python 2.3.4) Thanks! David Geller
