Hi everyone, After having got fed up with Apache (again) I decided to give lighttpd and FastCGI a go.
I used the example at http://www.masonhq.com/?FastCGI and eventually got it to work. I had to make one change, which caused me some serious hair pulling before I worked it out. I doubt my solution is any any way 'good' and I welcome comments on doing it better. The symptom was the call $h->handle_cgi_object($cgi) failing with: Component path given to Interp->load must be absolute (was given ) It seems that FastCGI under lighttpd does NOT set the environment variables PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING. So I did this: my $uri = $ENV{REQUEST_URI}; if ($uri =~ /\?/) { $uri =~ /^(.*?)\?(.*)/; $ENV{PATH_INFO} = $1; $ENV{QUERY_STRING} = $2; } else { $ENV{PATH_INFO} = $uri; $ENV{QUERY_STRING} = ""; } (at the beginning of the "while ($cgi = new CGI::Fast)" loop). This seems to make it work, at least for my quick 5 minute test (a component loads and can be passed parameters). Possibly this will save someone else some heartache. I like the idea of getting this to work neatly - separating each mason app into it's own little process(es) communicating via FastCGI would be a big improvement over Apache and mod_perl for me. - Justin -- Justin Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
