Subject: FCGI Externally Managed Servers
Mark,
It appears that we'll be running the httpd server on a different machine than
the one used to run the FCGI processes. This means we will NOT be using Server
managed FCGI processes, but externally managed processes.
After starting the httpd server, we invoke our externally managed programs as
follows:
cgi-fcgi -start -connect :9999 DA.fcgi
As with the Server Managed processes, we want to start multiple instances of an
FCGI process. Is this possible with Externally Managed Processes? We tried
the following:
cgi-fcgi -start -connect :9999 DA.fcgi 2
To start 2 instances of DA.fcgi (our externally managed process). It doesn't
work, we are not sure why yet. Is this legal?
The App class info (in config/httpd.config) is defined as follows:
ExternalAppClass DA -host renoir:9999
Responder DA /x/DA
Thanks for your assistance.
