Broken pipe error in Flask server

I am using Flask for some of my internal services. If you haven't used Flask, I would absolutely recommend that you check it out.

Recently I got the following error while I was attempting to serve a page from template. In an attempt to troubleshoot the error, I wasted almost half an hour.

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jun/2012 17:48:37] "POST /" 500 -

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 55176)

If you happen to receive this error, most likely cause is that the template you are attempting to render using "render_template" function is not found under PROJ_ROOT/templates directory. All the templates should be present under the PROJ_ROOT/templates directory. Unfortunately you don't see an accurate error message indicating that the template is missing!

I ran into this today and it looks like it's just the browser closing the connection before the request has finished server side. I tested by creating a flask view that returned "hi" and it was still possible to get these errors depending on how I hit the flask-server from my webserver. I hope this information helps!

Thanks for the post. That's what exactly happened to me.

What about this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sheshank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 270, in run_wsgi
    execute(self.server.app)
  File "/home/sheshank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 261, in execute
    write(data)
  File "/home/sheshank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 227, in write
    self.send_header(key, value)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py", line 401, in send_header
    self.wfile.write("%s: %s\r\n" % (keyword, value))
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Gotchas with DBCP





















I had to make use of DB connection pool in one of the applications that I was implementing. Since I am new to Java, everyone in the team was suggesting why don't you make use of Commons DBCP. Being a fan of reuse, I decided to make use of DBCP and started reading about the parameters that are exposed so that I can customize DBCP to fit my needs. While reading through the available configuration parameters , I was thinking, "I don't need to check the connection to be bad on every borrow or return. It is sufficient if I check for being bad only when the connection is sitting idle in the pool." So I set the testWhileIdle to be true and set the validationQuery to be "SELECT 1 FROM DUAL". I was thinking that the configuration that I had was the optimal for the situation in hand. But one thing I overlooked was, the default value for the testOnBorrow is true. So the moment you set the validationQuery to be any non-null value, every connection you borrow from the po

A note on Java's Calendar set() method





















Remember that the Calendar's internal fields include year, month, date, hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and time zone. Whenever you are calling a set() method with multiple fields, like set(year, month, date), it will not affect the rest of the fields. Remember that there is no set() method with multiple fields available to set the milliseconds. If you would like to set the milliseconds, you must use set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, value). Likewise, if you are planning to set all the fields, its a good idea to reset all the fields using clear() method. This will clear milliseconds as well. Most of the times, millisecond field may not be of interest to you. But if you are going to use the UTC milliseconds, by calling getTimeInMillis(), then make sure you set the right values for milliseconds as well.

The mysterious ORA-03111 error





















Recently one of the applications that I developed started throwing exceptions, that had the following message: SQL state [72000]; error code [1013]; ORA-03111: break received on communication channel When I googled around, I couldn't come across anything useful. Sadly enough most of the sites just showed the documentation for that error, without any explanation from anyone experiencing that issues. So here you go, with the best possible explanation that I could come up with. My application sets two things on the connection that is throwing this exception: It sets the fetchSize to be 2500 rows It sets the query timeout to be 10 seconds The database server and the application are separated over a long latency network (actually there is a NetEm box that emulates the long latency between these two boxes) which has a latency characteristic of 50+/-5 milliseconds. This is the whole setup. It is important to understand how the timeout is handled by the Oracle client (in my case JDBC clien
