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

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...

Note on allocationSize parameter of @SequenceGenerator while using JPA





















I ran into what I thought as an issue while I was using the sequence ID generation strategy in JPA. The JPA provider I am using is Hibernate. I think sharing my experience will save someone some time.   To use a sequence (For e.g. Oracle sequence) to generate values and assign them to the ID field of your persistence object, you will following something like this:   @Id  @Column(name = "ITEM_ID")  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="ItemIdSeqGenerator")  @SequenceGenerator(name="ItemIdSeqGenerator", sequenceName="ITEM_ID_SEQ", allocationSize=1)  private long itemId; This means the following things:  The @Id annotation says that the field itemId is a primary key.  The @Column annotation says that the corresponding column in the database is ITEM_ID.  The @GeneratedValue says that the value that needs to be populated in the itemId should be generated, while that object is persisted. The strategy to generate the value is to...
