    <p>I moved my first Django project from DjangoEurope to Webfaction, and that started an issue looking like a memory leak. With every single request memory usage of the server process goes up about 500kb. It never goes down. This goes on until Webfaction kills it for using too much memory.</p> <p>I can clearly see this when I refresh the Django's admin interface in my browser (although this happens with every single page, not only with admin interface - I though admin interface would be a nice test case, because there is no my code directly there). With every browser reload the memory usage goes up couple hundreds kilobytes.</p> <p>I test the memory using a command suggested by Webfaction:</p> <pre><code>ps -u publica -o rss,etime,pid,command </code></pre> <p><strong>More about my setup:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Django 1.1 (stable)</li> <li>Default Webfaction Django setup using Apache and mod_wsgi</li> <li><code>DEBUG</code> set to <code>False</code></li> <li>MySQLdb 1.2.2 from Webfaction, but after hearing it had some problems I tried version 1.2.3c. Didn't help.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I created an empty Django project - default Django configuration plus <code>django.contrib.admin</code> and fresh empty database (tried both with mysql and postgresql). I started reloading Django admin in my browser and watched memory usage. At first I saw the problem occurring - memory usage grew after every reload. But then it stabilized and stopped growing. That's consistant with how my original project behaved on Django Europe. Unfortunately on Webfaction it never seems to stabilize (or at least not within limits of memory available to my account). Any advice? </p>

    1. COIf you are doing something leaky in your models it would certainly show up in the admin, so I'm not sure you've eliminated your code as culprit. For what it's worth, I've been running a Django application on Webfaction for over a year and have not had an issue like this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
