It's working now, thanks again for making me go through conf/config.py again.
I know nothing about Python as you can probably tell. If anybody wants me to copy and paste some command line to get this up and running on an Ubuntu server let me know.
I noticed that there is a problem when using MySQL. MySQL is filling up with processes that are stuck in 'Waiting for table metadata lock'. It becomes completely unresponsive after a while. I tried two different mysql servers with the same results (one on localhost, one on another server in the local network). Using sqlite it works so far. I haven't tried 'none'.
http://pastebin.com/Euyst33LOne more thing, how would I run update_submodules? I am now running the proxy on a different host and could probably run it as a separate instance, but having it together with the pool might make sense.
I'll have to take a look at the mysql bit. I have a guess but I'll have to confirm it.
the update_submodules script just does a git checkout my (very slightly modified) stratum-proxy into the externals directory, github has been up and down the last couple days though, so it's kinda at the mercy of github
