I'm itching to try it out. From all that I've heard, Lighttpd is the way to go from things like Cat when Apache is just too heavy. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
Re: [Catalyst] Apache2+fcgid or Lighttpd
no, I'm wrong - I read it *somewhere*, but it was likely an out of date doc ... I just googled and found this: http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/11/29/faster-fastcgi (scroll down or search romauld to see that it's persistent since 1.5.0) On 3/19/07, Toby Corkindale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Daniel McBrearty wrote: I thought of using fcgi also, but wondered if the fact that lighty doesn't make the fcgi connection persistent was significant.

It just stops spawning processes. The rest of the connections get accepted and queued up to a configurable limit.

I thought of using fcgi also, but wondered if the fact that lighty doesn't make the fcgi connection persistent was significant. On 3/15/07, Michele Beltrame [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello!

I'm on a VPS environment, so speed can be an import factor for choice.
