User launched fcgis with lighttpd

Jamis has a great quick article about the use of the socket config in lighttpd.

It’s been a year since I wrote Having one’s own lighttpd and running it too (used jamis’s site as an example) and a lot has changed with both lighttpd and rails since then. While we’ve stayed very much on top of things ourselves there needs to be a update in terms of best (or rather the best) practices and how things should (or have) to be done. And as Koz says, saying that no worries, railsbase will handle it isn’t good enough, so I’ll get everything together.

It’s been two years since we started using lighttpd in production, it’s use with rails started with this and even MT’s perl caught on nicely. Great little web server.

  1. Ofcourse, you meant to say MT’s perl caught on nicely right? ;)

  2. That’s apache -> lighttpd -> MT/FastCGI on comox.textdrive.com

  3. Great advice. I will be applying this to AreYouHiring?, pending testing. Anything to reduce the load.
