Xapian Deadlocks with Apache mod_python and mod_wsgi
November 19th, 2009 posted by Bender Rodríguez
If you are using apache2 and mod_wsgi or mod_python, there is a bug
in certain versions of Xapian that makes apache hang ("deadlock", as
they call it) when using third party projects like Djapian. Here is the relevant ticket with a
fix for both mod_wsgi and mod_python if your version of Xapian is older
than 1.0.13.
