21 | |
22 | Starts the FastCGI server. If C<$listen> is set, then it specifies a |
23 | location to listen for FastCGI requests; |
24 | |
25 | Form Meaning |
26 | /path listen via Unix sockets on /path |
27 | :port listen via TCP on port on all interfaces |
28 | hostname:port listen via TCP on port bound to hostname |
29 | |
30 | Options may also be specified; |
31 | |
32 | Option Meaning |
33 | leave_umask Set to 1 to disable setting umask to 0 |
34 | for socket open |
35 | nointr Do not allow the listener to be |
36 | interrupted by Ctrl+C |
37 | nproc Specify a number of processes for |
38 | FCGI::ProcManager |
dc2fc680 |
39 | pidfile Specify a filename for the pid file |
526b698a |
40 | manager Specify a FCGI::ProcManager sub-class |
41 | detach Detach from console |

171 | =head1 WEB SERVER CONFIGURATIONS |
172 | |
d7d72ad9 |
173 | =head2 Standalone FastCGI Server |
174 | |
175 | In server mode the application runs as a standalone server and accepts |
176 | connections from a web server. The application can be on the same machine as |
177 | the web server, on a remote machine, or even on multiple remote machines. |
178 | Advantages of this method include running the Catalyst application as a |
179 | different user than the web server, and the ability to set up a scalable |
180 | server farm. |
198b0efa |
181 | |
d7d72ad9 |
182 | To start your application in server mode, install the FCGI::ProcManager |
183 | module and then use the included fastcgi.pl script. |
198b0efa |
184 | |
d7d72ad9 |
185 | $ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/myapp.socket -n 5 |
198b0efa |
186 | |
d7d72ad9 |
187 | Command line options for fastcgi.pl include: |
188 | |
189 | -d -daemon Daemonize the server. |
190 | -p -pidfile Write a pidfile with the pid of the process manager. |
191 | -l -listen Listen on a socket path, hostname:port, or :port. |
192 | -n -nproc The number of processes started to handle requests. |
198b0efa |
193 | |
d7d72ad9 |
194 | See below for the specific web server configurations for using the external |
195 | server. |
198b0efa |
196 | |
d7d72ad9 |
197 | =head2 Apache 1.x, 2.x |
198 | |
199 | Apache requires the mod_fastcgi module. The same module supports both |
200 | Apache 1 and 2. |
201 | |
202 | There are three ways to run your application under FastCGI on Apache: server, |
203 | static, and dynamic. |
204 | |
205 | =head3 Standalone server mode |
206 | |
207 | FastCgiExternalServer /tmp/myapp -socket /tmp/myapp.socket |
208 | Alias /myapp/ /tmp/myapp/ |
209 | |
210 | # Or, run at the root |
211 | Alias / /tmp/myapp/ |
212 | |
213 | # Optionally, rewrite the path when accessed without a trailing slash |
214 | RewriteRule ^/myapp$ myapp/ [R] |
215 | |
216 | The FastCgiExternalServer directive tells Apache that when serving /tmp/myapp |
217 | to use the FastCGI application listenting on the socket /tmp/mapp.socket. |
218 | Note that /tmp/myapp does not need to exist -- it's a virtual file name. |
219 | |
220 | It's likely that Apache is not configured to serve files in /tmp, so the |
221 | Alias directive maps the url path /myapp/ to the (virtual) file that runs the |
222 | FastCGI application. The trailing slashes are important as their use will |
223 | correctly set the PATH_INFO environment variable used by Catalyst to |
224 | determine the request path. If you would like to be able to access your app |
225 | without a trailing slash (http://server/myapp), you can use the above |
226 | RewriteRule directive. |
227 | |
228 | =head3 Static mode |
229 | |
230 | The term 'static' is misleading, but in static mode Apache uses its own |
231 | FastCGI Process Manager to start the application processes. This happens at |
232 | Apache startup time. In this case you do not run your application's |
233 | fastcgi.pl script -- that is done by Apache. Apache then maps URIs to the |
234 | FastCGI script to run your application. |
235 | |
236 | FastCgiServer /path/to/myapp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -processes 3 |
237 | Alias /myapp/ /path/to/myapp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl/ |
198b0efa |
238 | |
d7d72ad9 |
239 | FastCgiServer tells Apache to start three processes of your application at |
240 | startup. The Alias command maps a path to the FastCGI application. Again, |
241 | the trailing slashes are important. |
198b0efa |
242 | |
d7d72ad9 |
243 | =head3 Dynamic mode |
244 | |
245 | In FastCGI dynamic mode, Apache will run your application on demand, |
246 | typically by requesting a file with a specific extension (e.g. .fcgi). ISPs |
247 | often use this type of setup to provide FastCGI support to many customers. |
248 | |
249 | In this mode it is often enough to place or link your *_fastcgi.pl script in |
250 | your cgi-bin directory with the extension of .fcgi. In dynamic mode Apache |
251 | must be able to run your application as a CGI script so ExecCGI must be |
252 | enabled for the directory. |
253 | |
254 | AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi |
255 | |
256 | The above tells Apache to run any .fcgi file as a FastCGI application. |
257 | |
258 | Here is a complete example: |
259 | |
260 | <VirtualHost *:80> |
261 | ServerName www.myapp.com |
262 | DocumentRoot /path/to/MyApp |
263 | |
264 | # Allow CGI script to run |
265 | <Directory /path/to/MyApp> |
266 | Options +ExecCGI |
267 | </Directory> |
268 | |
269 | # Tell Apache this is a FastCGI application |
270 | <Files myapp_fastcgi.pl> |
271 | SetHandler fastcgi-script |
272 | </Files> |
198b0efa |
273 | </VirtualHost> |
d7d72ad9 |
274 | |
275 | Then a request for /script/myapp_fastcgi.pl will run the |
276 | application. |
198b0efa |
277 | |

280 | |
281 | =head2 Lighttpd |
282 | |
d7d72ad9 |
283 | These configurations were tested with Lighttpd 1.4.7. |
284 | |
285 | =head3 Standalone server mode |
286 | |
287 | server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root" |
288 | |
289 | fastcgi.server = ( |
290 | "" => ( |
291 | "MyApp" => ( |
292 | "socket" => "/tmp/myapp.socket", |
293 | "check-local" => "disable" |
294 | ) |
295 | ) |
296 | ) |
297 | |
298 | =head3 Static mode |
198b0efa |
299 | |
300 | server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root" |
301 | |
302 | fastcgi.server = ( |
303 | "" => ( |
304 | "MyApp" => ( |
305 | "socket" => "/tmp/myapp.socket", |
306 | "check-local" => "disable", |
307 | "bin-path" => "/var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl", |
308 | "min-procs" => 2, |
309 | "max-procs" => 5, |
310 | "idle-timeout" => 20 |
311 | ) |
312 | ) |
313 | ) |
314 | |
d7d72ad9 |
315 | Note that in newer versions of lighttpd, the min-procs and idle-timeout |
316 | values are disabled. The above example would start 5 processes. |
25810c41 |
317 | |
d7d72ad9 |
318 | =head3 Non-root configuration |
25810c41 |
319 | |
d7d72ad9 |
320 | You can also run your application at any non-root location with either of the |
321 | above modes. |
198b0efa |
322 | |
323 | fastcgi.server = ( |
d7d72ad9 |
324 | "/myapp" => ( |
198b0efa |
325 | "MyApp" => ( |
d7d72ad9 |
326 | # same as above |
198b0efa |
327 | ) |
328 | ) |
329 | ) |

333 | |
334 | =head2 IIS |
335 | |
336 | It is possible to run Catalyst under IIS with FastCGI, but we do not |
337 | yet have detailed instructions. |
