Internal server error with large file in django

Question

I have the following problem; I have a module that reads a 1.5Gb file and then processes it with it. If I run it in the Python console it works normally, however if I make the call from that file read in a django view it returns error 500 before it highlights the entire file load.

How to proceed?

Answer 1

Since the shell is executing the complete request, the request could be getting timed out due to app server or web server:

• If using Nginx as web server, try increasing read time out: proxy_read_timeout < a high value in sec >
• If using Gunicorn as app server, try increasing this as well: TIMEOUT=< a high value in sec >
• If using wsgi as app server, try either: http-timeout=< a high value in sec >.
