Summary: add option to automatically restart if a script is
modified
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.3-HEAD
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: mod_fcgid
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The original mod_fastcgi, on which mod_fcgid is based (if I understand my
history correctly), has an option (named autoUpdate, which is a flag to to the
FastCgiConfig) which causes it to check the mtime of a script each time that
script is requested, and restart the process handling that script if the script
has been modified since the handler process was started. mod_fcgid does not
have such capability, but it would be very useful in a shared hosting
environment for development, as our users do not have access to the server to
kill processes.
Various workarounds are possible but not desirable because:
-setting DefaultMinClassProcessCount to 0 and letting the script idle timeout
leads to lots of sitting and waiting
-setting very low MaxRequestsPerProcess, IdleTimeout, or ProcessLifetime
results in inefficient, needless stopping and starting
If such functionality is not in the works I __might__ be able to write a patch
to do this, if there is a chance it would be accepted.
Thank you.
