[mapserver-users] MapServer as fast-cgi
Dear users, I try to set up Mapserver with fast-cgi, but so far it doesn`t work as it should do (well I think it doesn`t, I`m also not so sure how to test ist). * I have succesfully compiled MapServer 5.6.3 with fast-cgi (on Debian 5.0) * Apache runs with mod_fcgid * In the mapfile I have implemented in the layers PROCESSING CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER But some steps I don`t understand: In the apache-conf I set: ScriptAlias /fcgi-bin/ /etc/apache2/cgi-bin/mapserv Location /fcgi-bin Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch SetHandler fcgid-script Order allow,deny Allow from all #FastCgiConfig -initial-env PROJ_LIB=/usr/share/proj -initial-env #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/pgsql/lib #-appConnTimeout 60 -idle-timeout 60 -init-start-delay 1 -minProcesses 2 #-maxClassProcesses 30 -startDelay 5 /Location a) If I comment in FastCGIConfig .. I always get from the Apache: Invalid command 'FastCgiConfig', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included ?? What might be the reason for that? b) I start the Apache without the FastCGIConfig in the apache-conf-file and I run the MapServer as: http://www.xyz.de/fcgi-bin/?map=/path_to_my/mapfile.map ...this should be the way to run MapServer as fast-cgi, shouldn`t it? c) I thought, if I run MS with Debug 5 the layers should be produced much faster, right? But the log-file doesn`t show any difference betwenn MS as cgi or fcgi, this might be because of the missing FastCgiConfig in Apache, right? Can anybody give me a hint please?

You should see them within top even when the map is already delivered. And with CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER you can then reuse database connections which in turn will make your application faster.

But as the mod_fcgid process get shutted down, it definitely was started up before :) So in the end I think fast cgi is already working. With fcgi your MapServer processes will stay in memory.

I`m not sure if I understand. What do you mean with: You should see them within top even when the map is already delivered. I meant you can monitor with the command top (or htop) your processes. You would see one or more mapserv processes staying there. Would it be an cgi process it would only be live until the request is completed. And can`t I check it with the Debug 5 in the log-file? You don't see any information about fcgi/cgi in the MapServer logile, as far as I know.

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer as fast-cgi
Hi, I'm not sure your apache config is correct. Setting a specific alias for the default cgi-bin dir and using the alias as a specific Location can maybe give troubles. Maybe the default cgi-bin is applying first and your Location is not used at all.
