Django 1.6 needs to be told how long it can expect a database connection to last. On PythonAnywhere we terminate unused connections after 5min, so you need to include 

'CONN_MAX_AGE': 299

in your database configuration dict in settings.py. See the Django docs

glenn, thank you for helping

glenn, i included 'CONN_MAX_AGE': 299 and reload apache many time, but this error appears frequently still.

That's puzzling. How frequently are you seeing the problem?

Staff harry | 2710 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Aug. 22, 2014, 12:33 p.m. | permalink

harry, this usually occurs when updating any page of the site. I tested my site in Page Speed - Google Developers and there was also error. This may be due to this code?

if( window.location.hash ) { // just in case there is no hash
        $(document.body).animate({
            'scrollTop':   $( window.location.hash ).offset().top
        }, 2000);
        }

I don't think that code would cause errors, no. We'll see if we can find anything in our logs...

Staff harry | 2710 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Aug. 22, 2014, 7:44 p.m. | permalink

can be put another CONN_MAX_AGE? for example CONN_MAX_AGE=3600

deleted-user-365691 | 13 posts | Aug. 22, 2014, 7:44 p.m. | permalink

Well, like Glenn said elsewhere, anything greater than 300 is going to cause problem, because mysql will disconnect you from its end after 5 minutes. I would recommend a setting of about 250.

Staff harry | 2710 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Aug. 22, 2014, 7:47 p.m. | permalink

I set 250, but error stil. I do not know what to do. Case in hosting or code?

deleted-user-365691 | 13 posts | Aug. 22, 2014, 9:13 p.m. | permalink

I've bumped the server's global max_connections variable -- it didn't look like we were anywhere near the limit, but right now isn't our most busy time of day. Can you give it another try?

Staff harry | 2710 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Aug. 23, 2014, 10:08 a.m. | permalink

You should note that django 1.6 with python 3.4 isn't supported. Are you having deliberately the need for this version combination?

From the django 1.6 release notes:

Python 3.4 is not supported, but support will be added in Django 1.7

Either go back to python 3.3 (you probably won't see a difference) or advance to django 1.7 (in development). If the problem persists you have the additional possibility of filing a bug report.

Cheers

Hi, am getting the same error every time there is no activity on the website after a while and navigate to another page or something. Is there any way to reconnect (refresh - database connectivity) to the database after time out ?

deleted-user-293158 | 9 posts | Sept. 27, 2014, 4:54 p.m. | permalink

That's what we thought CONN_MAX_AGE was supposed to fix. You should be aware that the Django and MySQL combination don't have very good support for Python 3. The standard MySQLdb library (which is the only one that Django fully supports) is not available (except as an incomplete alpha release) for Python 3.
