Well, for what it's worth, here is what I have done when migrationg a project to CGI::App with, hopefully, fastCGI under suxexec. I run apache mod_fcgid. It's a module I can much recommend, it is rock solid. To illustrate, my application is ernad. In /etc/apache2/sites-available/ernad.repec.org RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/nep_ernad.fcgi$1 [L] ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin <directory /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin> AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </directory> <location /> AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks </location> Here is /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin/nep_ernad.fcgi #!/usr/bin/perl -w use lib qw(/home/ernad/ernad/perl/); use CGI::Fast qw/-utf8/; use Ernad::Erimp; use Ernad::Index; my $impna='nep'; our $e=Ernad::Erimp->new({'impna'=>$impna}) or die; while (my $q = new CGI::Fast) { my $app = new Ernad::Index(QUERY => $q); $app->run(); } This approach seems to work fine. Apache fires up a new fcgi daemon when none is running and a request comes along. I don't need a startup script for the fcgi daemon. My application is supposed to create an application object, an Erimp, when it starts. This loads the stylesheets, so they are compiled when a request arrives. The other day I changed the stylesheet without the killing---thus restarting---the daemon, and it showed the results of the changed sheet, which it should not have done, so I need to look into this more, but as far I understand, this is the sort of setup you need to run CGI::App as FastCGI without much trouble. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
