Nate,
Does anyone know what are the advantages/disadvantages of using mod_mono
with apache versus setting up apache with mod_proxy to proxy an XSP server
running on a private port? I know that this is a common practice in the
Java world with Tomcat/application servers and was just curious if there was
a reason that that approach would not be recommended for mono and XSP.
mod_mono:
+ performs better (it uses Unix domain sockets to communicate
with the Mono server. The response headers doesn't need to be
parsed/rewritten.)
+ faster file transfers
+ common URL namespace with Apache (if AddHandler is used)
+ autohosting: http://www.mono-project.com/AutoHosting
+ enabled for mass hosting
mod_proxy + mod_proxy_http:
+ ability to run the app server under a different UID
(mod_mono is supposed to support this too)
- the app server process cannot be controlled by Apache
- difficult mass hosting
