  • Unable to use python multiprocessing on Apache2.4 Windows (Terminated p

    From barudwale20@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 3 03:36:15 2020
    I am using flask (with Python2.7.8) application hosted on Apache24 (v2.4.16 Win32) on Windows. I have used python multiprocessing library and Using Process to submit a process. A sample code is given as below:


    START

    file a.py
    ====================================
    def task1(a,b,c):
    # doing task here

    END


    START

    file b.py
    ===========================================
    from multiprocessing import Process
    from a import task1

    class B(object):
    def __init__(self):
    #initializaing variables

    def call_task(self):
    Process(target=task1, args=(1,2,3)).start()

    END




    This code is working as expected when I am executing this with flask server. (creating python process and creating python child procecss of main process while calling Process(...).start())

    But when I am executing the same code with Apache server by creating virtual host. The same code does create process but it does not execute and is already in Terminated state. (both parent and child process are httpd.exe processes).

    I have tried to make changes in mpm config of Apache but it did not work or I could not configure it as expected. My current mpm config is as below.


    <IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
    ThreadsPerChild 150
    MaxRequestsPerChild 100
    TimeOut 60
    MaxConnectionsPerChild 10
    </IfModule>

    Also I am unable to find any mpm module in modules folder in Apache. Any suggestions in order to make it work on Windows + Apache?
