Periodically, when using the Django admin tool, it hangs and stops responding to requests until it is restarted. Whenever it hangs, the last line in the log is:

"GET /admin/jsi18n/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2158

The hang seems to occur after a POST (like when viewing the results of adding an object). It happens with a variety of different models and is unpredictable, as far as I can tell. The only constant is the GET request to that Javascript file. Also, the time between hangs varies: sometimes you can add objects with the admin tool for an hour, sometimes it can't last 5 minutes.

Performance-wise, the box does not appear to be under much stress (load average of 0.17-0.20)

[EDIT] It recently output an error that looks interesting, though it recovered itself and kept serving responses afterwards:

Most likely this is because of you using Google Chrome. Which will make more then one connection to a web-server, which in the case of the Django Dev server it's no good. You have two options. Either use

  • Django Concurrent Server
  • Setup your dev-server using a production server (Don't recommend, more complex)
  • Use Firefox, tell Chrome to stop multiple connections
  • Host your static files on your computer using a separate server. Like Lighttpd or something.
