Have to restart apache server to display data from SQL Server in Flask

173 views Asked by At

I have setup a Flask app on a VPS and everything seems to work fine; When i restart apache everything works fine and i got this: html table

if I reload the browser page the data disappear and only remains the table header; if I want to see again the data I have to restart the apache server, and this is the big problem that I can't figure out.

my data stricture is the following:

|----FlaskApp
|---------FlaskApp
|         +----main.html
|--------------static
|--------------templates
|              +----elenco.py
|              +----__init__.py

What I try to do is to connect to a SQL Server DB with _mssql, query the database and display the results in a html table. This is the content of the files:

init.py

from flask import Flask, render_template
import _mssql
from elenco  import Elenco_chiamate


Chiamate = Elenco_chiamate()


app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def homepage():
    return render_template("main.html", chiamate_html = Chiamate)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

elenco.py

    import _mssql

def Elenco_chiamate():
    conn = _mssql.connect(server='xxxxxxx', user='xxxxx', password='xxxxx')
    conn.execute_row('SELECT TOP 100 * FROM ASSET_VIEW')
    return conn 
    conn.close()

main.html

You are calling Elenco_chiamate() at module level, so it will only be called once - when the module is first imported.

Call it inside the view function instead.
