Hi Ryan, Good news, I figured out the solution to your problem looking at the docs for mod_fcgid (I should have looked there first :-) ). Use the "FcgidOutputBufferSize 0" directive in your Apache configuration to disable output buffering for FastCGI.
You will also need to patch wsapi.common so it always flushes the output: http://github.com/keplerproject/wsapi/commit/8cc9499d028fcea8a67515a2cfc6e969bf030343 Tested it on my Ubuntu and works like a charm. Orbit will keep doing its own buffering for its regular requests, so disabling mod_fcgid's buffering is not a big deal. -- Fabio Mascarenhas On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 12:42 AM, Ryan Pusztai <rpusz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Fabio, > > On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 8:57 PM, Fabio Mascarenhas <mascaren...@acm.org> > wrote: >> >> > Do you think mod_fcgid was updated and broke this?
