mod_fastcgi (not 100% sure it works fully)

Winkie · 2004-12-14 11:18:51

I built this after a bit of hacking about with sedding patch files to get it to build nicely without going after a mkdir.sh file which doesn't exist (whoever packaged apache, i'm looking at you!)

Anyway, here it is, only installs one file but hey, it's worth packaging

edit: oops, best have both md5s in there.

... and even better to provide that patch
I'm not so good at reverse engeneering of md5sums ...

Pff, I am, check this out:

I might note that I only found out about DESTDIR recently because i'm an idiot, pretty much all my old packages are probably useless now

could you provide a rundown on how to get fastcgi working?
I would really like to get ruby working under fastcgi..

Sure, static, dynamic or external?

*clueless look on face*
I honestly don't know a WHOLE lot about fastcgi. I was just intriuged by some of the reports on the speed of it. It does something like run an external "server" that processes the scripts right? I was also led to believe that there can be problems with sessions and stuff, as it is now an external process handling them, and all of the scripts are handled by the same instance.
Is this correct?
hmm..I might have to do some more studying on this...

Yeah, pretty much, it provides persistance and speed boost because of said persistance to CGI applications.

Your basic types are:

· Static
You define the server in the httpd config and it starts up an instance accordingly, if the instance dies it will be replaced.
· Dynamic
FastCGI applications are auto detected (Based on calls from the CGI script I assume) and dealt with accordingly
· External
Similar to static, but it is expected to be handled externally, so the HTTPD doesn't screw with it.

Some good documentation is available at www.fastcgi.com, i'm only talking about mod_fastcgi here of course.
