Yes, but what did the first 100 entries say? What are you actually saying here? Are you saying you triggered 100 requests of the handler and only then did your handler crash Apache, or that there was simply 100 unrelated entries that preceded the crash point, where the crash was the outcome of the very first request? I would help that you actually posted from the log the entry for the crash and anything just prior to that point that seems relevant. It would also help that you post the snippet of your Apache configuration so we can see how you have set it up to run mod_python and what handler you might be triggering, whether it be your own or one from mod_python such as publisher. > The code that i tried > is as follows: > > from mod_python import apache > > import module2 But what is in module2.
