(a sister project of unicorn) is better <http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/> since it has less overhead when waiting for a big CGI to run. If performance/scalability isn't an issue, then unicorn is fine for CGI. unicorn is much easier to configure as there's less documentation to read :) > and if there is indeed > some sense in this idea, how might i go about it? is there a simple > rackup file that would work for a configuration such as this? i > couldn't find any information on rackup configs of this sort, and not > being familiar with rails the terrain simply became to steep at this > point to continue without some guidance or assurances. You can check out rack-legacy git://github.com/eric1234/rack-legacy I've never used rack-legacy, as I've been running the bundled Unicorn::App::ExecCGI before with cgit <http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/>. I haven't used it on anything but cgit, however. I use the following for serving http://bogomips.org/unicorn.git (I run this with Rainbows!, but it's fine with unicorn, too) ------------------------ config.ru ------------------------ require "unicorn/app/exec_cgi" map("http://bogomips.org/";) do repo = "/path/to/my/git/repos/on/bogomips.org" cgit = Unicorn::App::ExecCgi.new("#{repo}/cgit.cgi") # Attempts static file serving with Rack::File, first. # Fall back to calling cgit if the URL matches .git # Otherwise, just return a 404 r404 = [ 404, [ %w(Content-Length 0), %w(Content-Type text/plain) ], [] ] cgit_wrap = lambda { |e| e["PATH_INFO"] =~ %r{\.git} ? cgit.call(e) : r404 } run Rack::Cascade.new([ Rack::File.new(repo), cgit_wrap ]) end _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - mongrel-unicorn@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
