-Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - Catalyst FastCGI Engine
+Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - FastCGI Engine
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is the FastCGI engine.
+
+=head1 OVERLOADED METHODS
+
+This class overloads some methods from C<Catalyst::Engine::CGI>.
+
+=head2 $self->run($c, $listen, { option => value, ... })
+
+Starts the FastCGI server. If C<$listen> is set, then it specifies a
+location to listen for FastCGI requests;
+
+ Form Meaning
+ /path listen via Unix sockets on /path
+ :port listen via TCP on port on all interfaces
+ hostname:port listen via TCP on port bound to hostname
-A script using the Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI module might look like:
+Options may also be specified;
- #!/usr/bin/perl -w
+ Option Meaning
+ leave_umask Set to 1 to disable setting umask to 0
+ for socket open
+ nointr Do not allow the listener to be
+ interrupted by Ctrl+C
+ nproc Specify a number of processes for
+ FCGI::ProcManager
+ pidfile Specify a filename for the pid file
+ manager Specify a FCGI::ProcManager sub-class
+ detach Detach from console

+=head1 WEB SERVER CONFIGURATIONS
+
+=head2 Apache 1.x, 2.x
+
+Apache requires the mod_fastcgi module. The following config will let Apache
+control the running of your FastCGI processes.
+
+ # Launch the FastCGI processes
+ FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
+ FastCgiServer /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -idle-timeout 300 -processes 5
+
+ <VirtualHost *>
+ ScriptAlias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl/
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+You can also tell Apache to connect to an external FastCGI server:
+
+ # Start the external server (requires FCGI::ProcManager)
+ $ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/myapp.socket -n 5
+
+ # Note that the path used in FastCgiExternalServer can be any path
+ FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
+ FastCgiExternalServer /tmp/myapp_fastcgi.pl -socket /tmp/myapp.socket
+
+ <VirtualHost *>
+ ScriptAlias / /tmp/myapp_fastcgi.pl/
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+For more information on using FastCGI under Apache, visit
+L<http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html>
+
+=head2 Lighttpd
+
+This configuration was tested with Lighttpd 1.4.7.
+
+ server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root"
+
+ fastcgi.server = (
+ "" => (
+ "MyApp" => (
+ "socket" => "/tmp/myapp.socket",
+ "check-local" => "disable",
+ "bin-path" => "/var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl",
+ "min-procs" => 2,
+ "max-procs" => 5,
+ "idle-timeout" => 20
+ )
+ )
+ )
+
+You can also run your application at any non-root location.
+
+ fastcgi.server = (
+ "/myapp" => (
+ "MyApp" => (
+ # same as above
+ )
+ )
+ )
+
+You can also use an external server:
+
+ # Start the external server (requires FCGI::ProcManager)
+ $ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/myapp.socket -n 5
+
+ server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root"
+
+ fastcgi.server = (
+ "" => (
+ "MyApp" => (
+ "socket" => "/tmp/myapp.socket",
+ "check-local" => "disable"
+ )
+ )
+ )
+
+For more information on using FastCGI under Lighttpd, visit
+L<http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/fastcgi.html>
+
+=head2 IIS
+
+It is possible to run Catalyst under IIS with FastCGI, but we do not
+yet have detailed instructions.
