[mod_python] python_handler: Dispatch() returned nothing.

Hi all,

I'm running mod_python 2.6.3 with Apache 1.3.14 on RH 6.2, and it was
working well for a while, but now I've started running into a big
problem. Help please! I've got several name-based virtual hosts (i.e.,
on the same IP address), and I want to send requests to different
handlers, because I'm running several instances of Webware/WebKit
(http://webware.sourceforge.net/). What happens is that as the server
runs, I get more and more "internal server errors". The log shows the
following:

    python_handler: Dispatch() returned nothing.

After I restart the server, it seems to happen a little less (for a
short while). Any idea why this might be happening?

Before I set up the different host names, I was using different ports to
dispatch requests. I didn't get the above-mentioned error, but I got
other strange behavior: PythonPath didn't seem to work on a
per-VirtualHost basis. I set different paths for the different virtual
hosts, but they seemed to be executing code that was only in the other
virtual host's path. I'm not sure, but I think PythonHandler was
"bleeding over" between different virtual hosts, too. I am supposed to
be able to set these parameters differently for each VirtualHost
section, and invoke different handlers for each virtual host?

thanks,
-g.
