Well, that's strange, as I found it way more simple than CGI. :D In the dark past, at some time I also used CGI, but I often needed additional stuff to get the job done (like mod_rewrite for running stuff at root url, suexec for running stuff under different users to isolate stuff). And of course, it was really slow and eating lots of resources. mod_rewrite and suexec was a pain, due to bugs and unflexilibity. After that, I played with persistent stuff, like mod_python (ugh), twisted, fastcgi etc., but I wasn't too happy, because it really was additional setup work to manage the daemon processes and reliability also wasn't that great in the configurations I tried. mod_wsgi (daemon mode) solves ALL that with 2 lines of configuration (see the sample moin.wsgi we provide) and has been a reliable and fast tool for me in the past years (on Debian). Note: RHEL/CENTOS 5 had bad/too old support for python stuff, including not providing mod_wsgi. So, if you mean that with "too complex" (to compile and setup all the stuff on your own, I agree, but that is a RHEL5/CENTOS5 specific issue). Another important note I want to give is to never ever use mod_python or even just have it loaded/installed. It is dead since years, smells and only makes trouble, so best is to deinstall it completely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
